Question WPA3-Personal authentication: Should I re-work my wpa_supplicant.conf?

I use the latest kernel of Debian 12 a.k.a. Bookworm and ask for your advice if the contents of wpa_supplicant (see below) are correct, relevant details are missing or some of the contents ought to be deleted.

Below is my version of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to connect my computer to a wireless router that uses WPA3-Personal authentication only.

Code:
# Connections to pure WPA3-Personal access points

# MAIN section

# ISO/IEC alpha2 country code in which the device is operating

country=us

# Giving configuration update rights to wpa_cli

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1

# According to Archlinux wiki, Intel WiFi 6 cards may need sae_pwe=1 in the main (non network) section of the config file

sae_pwe=1


# NETWORK section

network={
    ssid="MYSSID"
    key_mgmt=SAE
    sae_password="the.literal.wifi.password"
        ieee80211w=1
}

group=CCMP
pairwise=CCMP


Questions:

(1) Should I set the value of ieee80211w to be 1 or 2?

(2) Are group=CCMP and pairwise=CCMP required?


P.S.: Except for Archlinux's wiki titled wpa_supplicant, in which a small sub-section is dedicated to WPA3-SAE, the following online articles do not provide examples of wpa_supplicant.conf with WPA3-Personal authentication:

wpa_supplicant.conf(5) - Linux man page

wpa_supplicant.conf

Thank you for your help.
 
Did the code work?

If not what happened or did not happen? Any error codes, etc.?

What do you think the answers are to the two questions you asked?

Present your answers and any relevant references or citations.

The reason I am asking is that your post and questions very much seem to be a homework or test question.

May or may not be but there is no true way to know from this end. In any case Forum rules prohibit doing homework.
