Wallys DR9074-6E(PN02.7) QCN9074 refuses to work on 6GHz band

Hi,

I have asked the manufacturer to confirm. It has the 6E sticker on it
but I have no lower level tools to read e-fuses if any. Regarding
board_id they say normally on non-x86 this is set by bootloader so it
is not hardcoded in eeprom.
For the HW side, on the PCB there are two markings, 5G (top) and 6E
(bottom), none of them was bridged from the factory. I bridged the 6E
one but that did not change anything. In the meantime I also deployed
aircrack-ng on AX210 client since I have no 6GHz equipment to do other
testing.

On the client:
iw wlp1s0 del
airmon-ng start wlan0mon
tshark -i wlan0mon -T text -V > log.wifi
airodump-ng -C 6115 -i wlan0mon --bssid C4:4B:D1:D0:00:7E

Checking available frequencies, this could take few seconds.
Freq 6115 ][ Elapsed: 0 s ][ 2022-11-08 19:48
BSSID              PWR  Beacons    #Data, #/s  CH   MB   ENC CIPHER  AUTH ESSID
C4:4B:D1:D0:00:7E  -46       12        0    0  33   54e  WPA3 CCMP   SAE  dupa

So the client is seeing signal strength and beacon packets which are
increasing continuously. It has concluded SSID, MAC and encryption
details correctly on 6E freq - 6115MHz and it is also seeing op class
134 = 160Mhz channel as set.  Then I assume electronics at least TX on
QCN9074 is working fine as the remote client is picking up something
but whatever is not right as there's no handshake. I tried to
pre-setup SSID so it auto connects without SSID discovery on Win
client but no juice. So I dumped packet details, not sure if I read
all flags right but there's a mix of it mentioning 6GHz supported &
enabled but in other places OFDM is listed instead of OFDMA. Now which
part of it is due aircrack-ng having all updates to support/decode 6E
don't know, it is another variable here.

If I can check anyhing in between pls. let me know.
OpenWRT is known to have some tuning for these things but ath11k was
not included by default hence also QCN9074. So I am now also working
with 5.15 master, compiled custom OpenWRT with enabled ath11k and
included *.bin firmware into OpenWRT. Resolved MSI issues to VT-D but
so far this is still work in progress as the card does not error out
but never responds to power on command. MHI keeps waiting for power
on. This is however secondary topic I started looking into due lack of
progress on a regular distro. Tried also latest 6.1 rc4 kernel on
ubuntu with no change.

Regards,
Mariusz
