PMF is controlled from AP side over which - mine is always PMF required with SAE, for instance, even if it's optional for WPA-PSK on the same SSID. (that's a configurable option)
PMF should be enabled if at all possible. PMF optional : mode 1 - recommended as long as the driver supports it, and pmf 2 - required - should be the other choice. PMF disabled is only for systems where security is not an issue or the driver is known not to function. It should raise a security alert if PMF is disabled.

Tested using Ubuntu Ubuntu Eoan Ermine [development branch] with NetworkManager 1.20.2-1ubuntu1 and WPA_Supplicant 2:2.9-1ubuntu1. It would be great if the aforementioned commits where backported to Eoan before release, so that Eoan based systems will associate with WiFi-networks using WPA3. ========================================================================== Update 09-10-2019: So it has come to my attention that NetworkManager needs one additional commit backported from upstream to make WPA3-SAE work: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/e36c297fd8c6b1b57cd120739cc5ee8eab57aa08 Without this latest commit connecting to WPA3-personal networks will still fail because of a lack of 802.11w support in the network-manager settings.
