Not sure? I guess what I'm starting to think is that if the language is
all the same across all the frames and says to include it "when
dot11HEOptionImplemented and dot11HE6GOptionImplemented are true", but
the beacon clearly doesn't make sense - is that a bug in the spec for
the beacon, or does it mean your patch is actually correct also for the
client?
Jouni, maybe you have some spec interpretation opinion? :)

I'm not sure there is any actual STA that does this, but in theory, a HE
6GHz-capable STA could do an extended channel switching procedure
towards a 6GHz channel, and include an Extended Channel Switch
Announcement in its beacon. Having also the HE 6 GHz Band Capabilities
element in that same beacon makes sense.
