Driver crash immediately after changing WLAN Security Settings on Repeater

[ellipticsun]

First of all, thanks a lot for the effort here - it's nice not have to patch the root!

I had noticed Mac OS (Sequoia) was warning that my Wifi was only using WPA. In the settings for my WIFI-Repeater I forced it to use WPA2 (not WPA/WPA2 autodetect) and immediately afterwards my machine crashed. After rebooting everything worked again.
