[Q] TrevE mod connection fail when enabling wifi-encryption topic

I am able to tether to my laptop using TrevE-Mod but only if wifi encryption is NOT enabled. If i enable wifi encryption, it will not connect.

How do i make this work with wifi encryption? anyone have this problem?

my current settings is as follows:

Generic ics/jb wlan0
netd-ndc master
send netdmax "" checked
passphrase changed
ssid changed
channel 1
wifi driver reload 2 checked
routing fix checked

any help is appreciated. I am also using express vpn if that matters.

thanks
