Enable CONFIG_SAE, CONFIG_IEEE80211W, and CONFIG_OWE so that wpa_supplicant can negotiate WPA3-Personal, Protected Management Frames, and Opportunistic Wireless Encryption. This unblocks netplan-generated configurations that specify key-mgmt=sae and aligns Azure Linux with Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu defaults. Remove the obsolete CONFIG_PEERKEY symbol, which was removed from upstream wpa_supplicant in 2.10. No new BuildRequires or Requires; all new features use the already-linked OpenSSL. Source0 unchanged, signatures.json untouched. ADO #62728349

Summary
Enables WPA3-Personal (SAE), Protected Management Frames (PMF / IEEE 802.11w), and Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) in the
wpa_supplicantbuild config. Removes the obsoleteCONFIG_PEERKEYsymbol (removed from upstream in 2.10).Motivation
key-mgmt=saeper the modern WPA3 standard, but the current Azure Linuxwpa_supplicantpackage rejects them because SAE is not compiled in. Users have to hand-edit generated configs to downgrade to WPA2.Changes
CONFIG_SAE=y— WPA3-Personal (SAE / Dragonfly handshake).CONFIG_IEEE80211W=y— Protected Management Frames (prerequisite for WPA3; also independently mitigates deauth/disassoc spoofing on WPA2).CONFIG_OWE=y— Opportunistic Wireless Encryption for open networks (RFC 8110).CONFIG_PEERKEY=y— symbol no longer exists in upstream wpa_supplicant 2.10.Compatibility / Safety
Source0andsignatures.jsonunchanged.CONFIG_PEERKEYremoval is a no-op (upstream already deleted the symbol).Validation
