Hi,
I am struggling trying to get 802.11ac working on Marvell (now NXP)
W8897 (verext = w8897o-B0, RF87XX, FP68, 15.68.19.p17) using the
mwifiex driver. This is supposed to be a 2x2 dual band 801.11ac chip.
This is an ARMv7 embedded device where the wifi module in accessed via
MMC. I am using kernel 5.4.24 with 15.68.19.p17 firmware and iw
version 5.4.

Despite that, iw list only detects the 2.4GHz band https://pastebin.com/5jEQmTTt
Is this configuration not supported? I feel like I am missing something obvious.
Any help appreciated, I've been banging my head against it for a while.
Best regards,
Jan
