Description

Describe the bug

The forums are reporting that 6ghz works by setting the country code to GB or JP (and to set all of the radios to the same country code).

I can confirm that this works.

Setting to US does not work.

OpenWrt version

r28427-6df0e3d02a

OpenWrt release

24.10.0

OpenWrt target/subtarget

mediatek/filogic

Device

Bananapi BPI-R4

Image kind

Self-built image

Steps to reproduce

Set the 6ghz radio to:

option country 'US'

Valid parameters, etc...

Actual behaviour

Doing a scan from a 6ghz client: the SSID does not show up.

Expected behaviour

I would expect to be able to set the country code to US, and be able to connect. Again, GB and JP work as expected.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce on a Bananapi BPI-R4 running OpenWrt 24.10.0, comparing the 6 GHz radio with country set to US versus GB or JP; done means the US-configured SSID is visible to a 6 GHz client and can connect.
