Almost forgot. I've been running Kubuntu 24.10 until recently and am
now running the Beta of Kubuntu 25.04, which is the most recent
version available. My wpa_supplicant is built with 6Ghz support as I'm
running this OS on my other machines and both of them can connect to
my 6Ghz network. They are using different chipsets of course.
