NetworkManager 1.46.0 does not report 6 GHz capabilities even though my device has
Summary
I'm trying to help https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/2072 along, and I have hardware with 6 GHz capabilities (AMD RZ616).
iw list
reports working 6 GHz frequencies:
Frequencies:
* 5955 MHz [1] (23.0 dBm)
* 5975 MHz [5] (23.0 dBm)
* 5995 MHz [9] (23.0 dBm)
* 6015 MHz [13] (23.0 dBm)
* 6035 MHz [17] (23.0 dBm)
...
But NetworkManager does not, as nmcli -f wifi-properties dev show wlp1s0
reports
WIFI-PROPERTIES.WEP: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.WPA: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.WPA2: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.TKIP: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.CCMP: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.AP: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.ADHOC: no
WIFI-PROPERTIES.2GHZ: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.5GHZ: yes
WIFI-PROPERTIES.6GHZ: no
WIFI-PROPERTIES.MESH: no
WIFI-PROPERTIES.IBSS-RSN: no
Looking at !1739 (closed), I don't quite understand why this would not work. It's almost as if the entire 6 GHz band is skipped in nl80211_wiphy_info_handler()
?
