Setting up a hotspot on Ubuntu 20.04 server. The wireless card is Qualcomm Atheros AR928X.
Setup with Netplan and the AP works. But I would like to disable the WPS and only keep WPA-PSK part.
The netplan script is:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
wifis:
wlp2s0:
dhcp4: true
optional: true
access-points:
"my-ap":
password: "mypassword"
mode: ap
Tried several ways and found some clue from wpa_supplicant.
According to the wpa_supplicant log:
...

...
Not sure where wpa_supplicant get the "WPS-PBC-ACTIVE" parameter, read from the wireless adapter or its own configuration file (there is no /etc/wpa_supplicantl.conf file through).
How can I find this parameter and disable it?
