This is your problem, the wireless stack in the kernel doesn't use any
kernel crypto code for 802.1X.

Yes, the wireless stack has zero bearing on the issue. I think that's what you meant by "problem".

IWD has used the kernel crypto API forever which was abruptly broken, that is the problem.

The original commit says it was to remove support for sha1 signed kernel modules, but it did more than that and broke the keyctl API.


I suppose iwd wants to use the kernel infrastructure but has no
fallbacks to other implementations.
