Hi,
I'm running the open source 11s mesh with QCA Dakota radios. But as we
set up more spaces, say > 4 spaces, mesh authentication starts to
become difficult. As I look into the code, it appears to me that the
SAE state machine is not tracking/identifying the peers?  So when the
commit & confirm messages between multiple peers interleave each
other, the state machine either sees ECC/FFC mismatch or keeps
resetting the states.

Is my observation correct?  And is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Joshua
