Hi,
I have two patches pending in review:
(1) add better VHT160 support to net80211 (and LinuxKPI 802.11):
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D49773
I've applied this and am currently testing it Bjoern. It's working fine,
but I'm not seeing any difference I must confess :(
Incidentally, I created a guest network on my Deco wireless, and only
enabled 5ghz. That's at least forcing my laptop to choose it over 2.4.
ifconfig -v wlan0 is below. If there's any further information I can
gather, please just ask :)
Many thanks!
