Research direction

Start by reviewing the WPA3 discussion in issue #4718 and checking where Raspberry Pi support limitations are officially documented. The requested outcome is a clear statement of WPA3 support status for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W; no specific file or test is named in the issue.

Description

Close within 30 days Waiting for internal comment

I bought a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and apparently it does not support my home wifi which uses WPA3.

I excepted that to be the case, since on Debian usually works just fine, and this device is a new release.

It should be at last officialy stated somewhere that is not supported. I basically bought something I can't use.

Notice that WPA3 is not anymore a theory, many commercial routers now ship with it in mixed mode or add that through firmware update.

Side note: actually run just fine on common operating systems from Windows to Android, including Linux if you have no firmware issues.
