Lakka 6.1 WiFi broken in switch build

[GavinDarkglider]

WiFi scans but will not connect. Works in 6.0 branch, possibly an issue with newer conman because we are forced to use wpa_supplicant, and not iwd(no kernel support).

Hello GavinDarkglider
Thank you very much this report (and also development for Switch).

I also have same(?) issue I think.

In my case,

• it was shown "invalid-key" in Lakka-v6.1 Switch connmanctl connection result.

Lakka:~ # connmanctl
Error getting VPN connections: The name net.connman.vpn was not provided by any .service files

Lakka:~ #

So I bumped the wpa_supplicant version to 2.11 and added CONFIG_SAE and related CONFIGs according to this information.
wpa_supplicant_bump_to_2_11_and_add_CONFIG_SAE.patch
After that, now WIFI is available.

Do you think this patch will solve this/your issue?

Thanks

That is actually better than what I did. Lol, I just downgraded connman, to 6.x version, which also fixes the issue.
