Mobile hotspot not working if WPA3-Personal in selected #135

Since upgrading to Havoc-OS 4.19 (OnePlus 6 - A6003) I noticed my mobile hotspot would refuse to turn on.
After toggling it on, it immediately turned off again with status "ERROR".

After some digging it turns out it works fine if, in the hotspot Security settings, I select 'none' or 'WPA2-Personal' settings, but it will error out if I select either 'WPA2/WPA3-Personal' or 'WPA3-Personal'.
I also noticed the default selected option after upgrading to 4.19 was 'WPA2/WPA3-Personal' causing the hotspot not to work out of the box.

My assumption is this is caused by a missing or broken WPA3-Personal support in the OS or the Oneplus 6 target.

It would be nice if either WPA3 support could be fixed (ideally), or have the option removed for now in the hotspot settings until it is fully working.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In hotspot settings select 'WPA2-Personal' under security settings.
  2. Turn on the hotspot
  3. Hotspot should turn on and work fine.
  4. Turn off hotspot
  5. In hotspot settings select either 'WPA2/WPA3-Personal' or 'WPA3-Personal' under security settings.
  6. Turn on the hotspot
  7. Hotspot should immediately turn off again (with status "ERROR" in the quick settings)
