Title:
  WPA3-SAE support

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After some user feedback WPA3 support for NetworkManager has been
  finalized upstream:

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/e1608030c6614d8dfd86122e9df81fdaad9453c9

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/84a86ce55f1e70cb32217d2c74242ff848db8cd7

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/merge_requests/276/diffs?commit_id=8d4497088fff562773b9c05260e810833bfc9c85

  At this time NetworkManager will not associate with Wifi-networks using WPA3.
  Tested using Ubuntu Ubuntu Eoan Ermine [development branch] with NetworkManager 1.20.2-1ubuntu1 and WPA_Supplicant 2:2.9-1ubuntu1.

  It would be great if the aforementioned commits where backported to
  Eoan before release, so that Eoan based systems will associate with
  WiFi-networks using WPA3.
