Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

On some networks that advertise WPA3, Chromebook cannot connect to the network and will keep asking for a password over and over again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a location or make a new netwokr that advertises WPA3 or WPA3/WPA2
2. Attempt to connect to WIFI
3. Wait for Auth box to appear
4. fill in password
5. wait ~2 mins
6. auth box appears again, fill in password
7. after a few cycles, it gives up on connecting

Expected behavior
WiFi connects after putting in password

Screenshots / Photos
(2 pictures show a network with WPA2/PSK ONLY and one with WPA2/WPA3 Personal)
MYROUTER - WPA2 ONLY
MYROUTER-guest - WPA2/WPA3 Personal

If you are reporting an issue with the build process, please run the scripts in debug mode by putting DEBUG=1 before the build commmand, like sudo DEBUG=1 ./build_complete.sh.

Target Chrome OS Device (please complete the following information):

• Board Name (e.g. dedede)
  dedede
• Device Name (e.g. drawcia) zork
• Shimboot version (e.g. v1.0.1)
  1.3.0

Build Device (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Debian 12]
• Neofetch out [run neofetch --stdout and paste it here]

 Prebuilt, just put ISO onto USB VIA rufus

SOME HELPFUL INFORMATION
My Chromebook is on the dedede board. When trying to fix this issue i came across the knowledge that my Chromebook has a Reltek WiFi card (not a big issue but Reltek & Linux was bad not so long ago). Also forcing the Chromebook, via different methods, to stop using or attempting to connecting via WPA3 works, but I was not able to figure out how to keep it saved across reboots. Also the image for the two networks attached above, i was having some issues with using nmcli on the GUEST network with WPA3/WPA2 as it would say i cannot disable the security if WPA3 is advertised (in simple terms)
Here is the exact output
nmcli> set 802-11-wireless-security.pmf disable
nmcli> save
Error: connection verification failed: 802-11-wireless-security.pmf: pmf can only be 'default' or 'required' when using 'owe', 'sae' or 'wpa-eap-suite-b-192' key management
You may try running 'verify fix' to fix errors.

Also on a side note, does a discord for ShimBoot exist for easier debugging?

Same issue on certain networks too. Really annoying. I believe it’s only on WPA3 networks
