    2525WiFi6 & 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.

    27 WiFi6E is the 'extension' of WiFi6. Wi-Fi 6E supports 6-GHz.
    28 WiFi6 is backwards compatible with other previous WiFi versions, but WiFi6E is not.
     27 * WiFi6E is the 'extension' of WiFi6. Wi-Fi 6E supports 6-GHz.
     28 * WiFi6 is backwards compatible with other previous !WiFi versions, but WiFi6E is not. WiFi6 typically supports 2.4 and 5.8GHz

    38  * Silex        [https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/embedded-wireless/sx-pceax SX-PCEAX]        802.11ax 2x2 QCA (Qualcomm QCA2066)     
     39 * Silex SX-PCEAX 802.11ax 2x2 QCA (Qualcomm QCA2066)     
    3940   * 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.             
    40    * 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.
