At the wireless workshop in Prague, we looked at this and sort of decided that it'd be better to put all the 6 GHz channels into the 5 GHz "band" in nl80211, to avoid all the "5 || 6" since they're really the same except for very specific places like scanning. The channel numbers problem came up, of course, but for nl80211 it's not that relevant since we deal with frequencies only, and we thought inside the kernel it'd be better to disambiguate them with operating classes, where needed - only few places really deal with channel numbers to start with. Do you have any reason to think that it's better as a separate band enum (which I notice you put before 60 GHz thus breaking the API/ABI :P)? Thanks, johannes
