If anyone wishes to make the WPA3 to the main stream, refer to this commit.

It must be mentioned that WPA3 Mode has a hardware requirement. Some devices (Apple iPhone and Macbook) require mandatory 802.11w (ieee802.11w must be 1 or 2) for any WPA3 Mode (even in the transition mode). Some other devices might not enforce enabling the 802.11w in transition mode, but it's definitely required (ieee80211w=2) for WPA3 Only Mode. It's a cool security advancement, but it might take few more years to get rid of incompatible devices.
