You do not tell us which Linux you are refering to.
Note that 2.4 probably does not have the fix.
But it all depends on your distro.

Thanks William for that detailed technical answer.

I apologize for not providing complete information.

Windows does not use wpa_supplicant. That is an open source wpa program.
It is used by Android, but again it is probably not a "stock" version,
but may well have been altered by the phone manufacturer to include
special features of the wireless chipset they use.

Thanks William. It's so refreshing to deal with actual technical answers!

Here is what my Android 4.3 phone just reported:
