is it possible to enable dualband or even 2.4 GHz on QCA9994? (Compex WLE1216V5-20)

[Adrian Chadd]

You'd have to also build the NIC to do it, yeah.

You'd have to get them from your vendor. :P

And I need the info, if and how is possible to enable dualband mode. If there is some physics like LNA or what ever missing, we can do this our self.
