     22== !WiFi 6 & 802.11ax Radios
     23
     24WiFi6 & WiFi6E & 802.11ax is the latest, fastest generation of !WiFi radios. These are bleeding edge and often require the latest software (kernel 5.15 or newer), firmware, and latest hardware.
     25
     26WiFi6E is the 'extension' of WiFi6. Wi-Fi 6E supports 6-GHz.
     27WiFi6 is backwards compatible with other previous WiFi versions, but WiFi6E is not.
     28
     29Because the below radios are bleeding edge, the Linux kernel may still be working to add full support.

     31!WiFi 6 / 802.11ax Radios Gateworks has seen on the market:
     32 * Intel        AX200   802.11ax 2x2 Intel ([#iwlwifi Gateworks tested on Ubuntu 5.15 kernel])
     33 * Wallystech   DR915   802.11ax 2x2 !MediaTek
     34 * !EmWicon     WMX7406-3TX     802.11ax 3x3 QCA (Qualcomm)

     38   * Preliminary testing shows it is likely that a 6.1 or newer kernel is required & a signed board-2.bin file needs to be placed in the /lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1 folder on a running target. This would be using the ath11k open source driver. Silex however recommends using Qualcomm’s LEA driver built using Silex's instructional PDF.             
     39   * While it supports 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz and 6GHz, you can only select two active frequency at once.   For example, 2.4GHz and 6GHz etc.    The AP feature is a soft AP so it can support up to 32 clients.
