iPad and 6Ghz WPA3 - end of my rope with this thing

Test Environment Scenario:

9166AXI on a 9800-CL controller. Controller firmware at 17.5.5

6th gen iPad Pro 12.9" (supports WPA3 and 6Ghz), at firmware 26.4.2

I set up a test SSID, 6Ghz only, WPA3 only. Initial setup choices: GCMP256, FT enabled, FT + SAE-EXT-KEY, PMF required.

iPad refuses to connect. iPhone 7 at the exact same software level connects perfectly. Android devices connect perfectly. This iPad is the only device that flatly refuses.

Have tried everything I can think of - FT on, FT off. All four encryption suite options, all four AKM options, MAC on the iPad at floating, fixed and off - no change.

From reading, this appears to be an ongoing issue. Just reaching out to see if anyone has any insights to share / has faced and beaten this problem. Thanks!
