Description Nico Rumpeltin 2015-04-13 21:35:06 UTC 
wpa_supplicant supports 802.11r since v0.7.2
To use it you need to set key_mgmt="FT-PSK" or "FT-EAP" in wpa_supplicant.
You can also set key_mgmt= "WPA-PSK FT-PSK" or "WPA-EAP FT-EAP" (without quotes) and wpa_supplicant will use FT when the AP offers it.
When wpa_supplicant is compiled without 802.11r support (CONFIG_IEEE80211R=n) you will get an error when setting FT-EAP or FT-PSK
You can determine via the wpa_supplicant D-Bus interface if the client and AP support Fast-Transition

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
