Subject: hostapd: Add support for the 6 GHz band
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f5f126e5e5bfe7ff1768aed098e060ab9cb09ae4;p=ipfire-2.x.git

hostapd: Add support for the 6 GHz band

This is mainly adding any center frequencies when the user manually
choses a channel.
