I have an old mobile broadband device that I wanted to get working again, and I had forgotten the password to the WiFi. The device has support for WPS.

I have three computers, One running Windows 7, one running Linux Mint 17 and one running Mac OSX Yosemite. I also have one iPad.

I looked though every setting and every configuration screen for all three computers, and the iPad, and there was no mention of WPS support. The only device I have that actually let me connect to the network via WPS is my 3DS XL, but sadly that couldn’t accept the cookies to log into the admin center.

So my question is… Why is Yosemite, Win7 and Linux Mint 17 missing support for WPS?
