Works here with a Ubiquiti U7 Pro version 8.2.17 and PMF set to optional as

iwx0 at pci6 dev 0 function 0 "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210" rev 0x1a, msix
iwx0: hw rev 0x420, fw 77.f92b5fed.0, pnvm ce1a5094, address 04:cf:4b:21:77:a3

Similar to Landry, I see changes in the rsncap from 0x8c when optional and
0xcc to required.
