Larry, Sorry about all these extra replies. Shortly after I sent my last message my access point started recognizing the connection as 802.11ac with PHY Rate / Modulation Rate of 866.6 Mbps. What is somewhat misleading is the information reported by iwconfig (see bit rate below). $ iwconfig wlo1 wlo1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"XXXXXXXXXX-5G" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.22 GHz Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Bit Rate=6.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=23 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-40 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:11 Missed beacon:0
The utility iwconfig is obsolete and not exactly up to date with the latest in wireless. I am not an expert on iw, but I think you want 'iw dev wlo1 link'.
I am wondering about the missing firmware stage. Had you not done the 'sudo make install' step, or did that step fail to install the firmware?
