Hi,

NetworkManager already enables 802.11r (FT) in the configuration sent
to wpa_supplicant.

If you do "journalctl -u NetworkManager -e | grep Config:" you should
see something like:

  Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 FT-PSK SAE FT-SAE'

which means that NM is enabling FT-PSK and FT-SAE in wpa_supplicant.

Does this answer your question?
