@wineway You've probably figured it out yourself, but there are two options:

• use this patch to bring back the lar_disable=Y option to iwlwifi
• use this patch to workaround the stupid limitation in hostapd

I spent a week working on a solution that I was happy with and I decided to post github

Hello, this patch works for 6ghz ?

Hello The patch doesn't enable 6ghz or any other bands itself. Only forces Intel drives to recognise the country so that it allows the right bands. So maybe it works for your use, I haven't test it Sent from Proton Mail Android
