Key information in wext.connect is not reset on (re)connect and can hold
data from a previous connection.

Reset key data to avoid that drivers or mac80211 incorrectly detect a
WEP connection request and access the freed or already reused memory.

Additionally optimize cfg80211_sme_connect() and avoid an useless
schedule of conn_work.

Hi,

This broke WPA auth entirely on brcmfmac (in offload mode) and probably
others, including on stable 6.2.3 and 6.3-rc1 (tested with iwd). Please
revert or fix. Notes below.

This if branch only fires if the connection is WEP.

And these are indeed only used by WEP.

But here you're killing the info that is used for *other* auth modes too
if !WEP, breaking WPA and everything else.

I can confirm this bug, I was seeing broken wifi on brcmfmac with 6.3-rc1
and I was about to start a git bisect for this this morning when I saw
this email.

Reverting 015b8cc5e7c4d7 fixes the broken wifi. Hector, thank you, you
just saved me from a bisect on somewhat slow hardware :)

Regards,

Hans

Great, can someone submit the revert patch to the networking tree so we
can get this resolved quickly?

thanks,

I can also confirm the regression with the (out-of-tree) broadcom-wl driver.
As Hector said reverting the cipher_group / n_ciphers_pairwise lines is enough.
See: https://gist.github.com/joanbm/fb90f4807b719a2e37a496936faabec9
