[Marcos Alano <2094785@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to let you know folks, I was able to make my router, which runs
OpenWrt, creates an usable Wi-Fi 7 network and I could connect using
wpa_supplicant 2.11.

For me, it's a go to bump the version for Ubuntu Questing.

Title:
  [SRU] New upstream 2.11 release for Wi-Fi 7 support

Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  To support the Wi-Fi 7 features, we need to upgrade wpa_supplicant to 2.11, the latest upstream stable release.

  [Test case]
  The upgrade version should not break legacy Wi-Fi functions, we should test on all Wi-Fi chips as much as possible.

  
  [Where problem could occur]
  This is a new stable release which is required by Wi-Fi 7. The risk is high that we might break existing Wi-Fi solutions.

  [Additional information]
  Upstream has released 2.11 on 2024-07-20 [1].
  It provides more features which are required by Wi-Fi 7.
