+Subject: [PATCH 6/6] dragonfly: Disable use of groups using Brainpool curves
+
+Disable groups that use Brainpool curves for now since they leak more
+timing information due to the prime not being close to a power of two.
+This removes use of groups 28, 29, and 30 from SAE and EAP-pwd.
+
+Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
+(cherry picked from commit 876c5eaa6dae1a87a17603fc489a44c29eedc2e3)
