I tried the ath-next-20250418 tag just now and still don't see or connect to my 6Ghz network. I applied the patches in: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20250418-ath12k-6g-lp-vlp-v1-0-c869c86cad60@xxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t hoping that would help, but alas, no 6Ghz networks. I see that MLO and other nice fixes are coming in 6.16, but without 6Ghz, they'll do me no good. I'm really wondering if it's a firmware issue that excludes my chip or something. Again, anything I can do to help, let me know. Thanks, -Walt
