Many thanks for explaining this to me. I need to have another go at the device maker who claim WPA2 Enterprise WiFi support - the error on the device was EAPOL_KEY_FAILURE - which is from the WICED software stack and not well explained!

I am really struggling the read the full debug and understand why it is not working. I can’t see anything in the output that says it is not working in fact I see at the end SUCCESS - so is this a device issue?
