[Bug 2023238] Re: netplan not support to establish a wireless WPA3 connection

[Laider Lai]

Hi Lukas / Danilo,

Thanks for your information. The test result is passed on the target platform.
If there are no other concerns, could you help to make WPA3 patches into the netplan.io package in Mantic and SRUed back to Jammy? Tks.
