[GUIDE] Successful Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) on Framework 13 AMD with Qualcomm QCNCM865 and Arch Linux

Despite this commit, I does see a lot of changes about ath12k that will arrive on 6.12 kernel. Hopefully it will fix BT audio issue. I’m planning to get a new wifi card, mt7922 just doesn’t work well.

I’ve got a update for atheros-firmware(I think that all atheros and QCA) on Fedora last night and it seems a bit better on 5GHz (W6) and a lot worse on 6GHz(6E) did not tryed a W7 AP yet.

5GHz seems to be limited to 80MHz still.
I’ll try to test booting a rawhide live image and check if I see any difference. Maybe the new firmware does not play nice with the 6.11.7 kernel module.

Great news, everyone! I’ve identified the issue causing Bluetooth audio problems and my patch will be eventually pushed into bluetooth-next to fix that.

Fantastic!

Can anyone confirm if AP mode works on 2.4GHz, 5GHz bands and 6GHz bands?
