I don't see a real usecase for OWE with MAB. But I am really waiting for WPA3-SAE with RADIUS-based MAB/iPSK.

@KarstenI question:
Since iPSK without radius cannot work due to the fact SAE is made to prevent bruteforcing.
However iPSK with radius, do you see that as a possibility for SAE or does the whole authentication frame already cause issues for that?

The AP has to query the RADIUS server after the first auth frame from the client. The 9800 also supports it, so it’s not really difficult.
