Need nRF7002 supported esp32 host list

[Shanmugam]

We are currently using ESP32 C6 as host in the our project. we are planning to integrate nRF7002 module with our current project. 

Please check and let us know nRF7002 support ESP32 C6 as host.

Hello,

First of all, what is the use-case here? Doesn't the ESP32 C6 already come with a Wi-Fi radio onboard? Do you want two of them?

So there is nothing stopping you from using an nRF7 device with a third party MCU. But as of now we do not have a lot of material available to facilitate this. There are 3 common options for customers who want to do this:

1. 3rd party host running Zephyr
2. 3rd party host running Linux
3. 3rd party host running another RTOS

For option 1, the task is relatively trivial and customers have already done this with little/no help.

For option 2, we provide a reference Linux driver in the Nordic Playground.

For option 3, the customer is on their own, but can use the Zephyr solution in NCS as a starting point. Everything required is delivered as source.

Regards,

Elfving

Is there a 802.1X support (WPA2 Enterprise, or WPA3 Enterprise) for one of the 3 options? 

[Elfving]

I believe support for WPA2 and WPA3 Enterprise mode is currently not available. For questions regarding when/if this will be supported, please contact your regional sales manager.

Same remarks I made to you colleague: 

I really have difficulties to understand why you cannot, when your official documentation is pointing that the chip is supporting WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise security...
And it's a technical issue that the feature you say is supported doesn't actually work. So please give to the community a real answer about how to solve it and to be in accordance to your main product page brief:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF7002 : 

• WPA3 Personal and Enterprise

I am generally not allowed to talk about details on when something will be available. Only what currently is. 

I am sorry about this, and I agree that the current way this is presented in the product brief is confusing. I think the idea is that the product brief is talking about the HW itself and what it can support. But what a given version of the SDK supports is a different question. You should generally be able to have a look here for what Wi-Fi features are supported in a given version of the SDK, though I see WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise isn't mentioned there. I'll look into why.

Getting in touch with sales and possibly getting a timeline for when it will be supported sounds like a solution to me.
