What were you trying to do that didn't work?

When using SSID=owe-transition-hidden together with ignore_broadcast_ssid=1 in hostapd cnfig, after connection to the AP the command nmcli dev wifi list shows owe-transition-hidden in rougly 50% of the cases. SSID for hidden AP must be set, otherwise OWE transition is not working.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

hostapd-2.10-1.el9.x86_64
wpa_supplicant-2.10-4.el9.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.45.9-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:

50% of the time

Expected results

The output should be consistent and SSID should remain hidden.

Actual results

SSID is sometimes displayed (wpa3-owe-hidden is sometimes visibe for 02:00:00:00:0C:00 AP). Also, AP is many times in the list, not sure why.

Note for QE

This makes the issue disappear, revert before testing:
