Good point, thanks.

Yeah. Actually, Arend had this handled:

      case NL80211_BAND_6GHZ:
-             /* see 802.11ax D4.1 27.3.22.2 */
+             /* see 802.11ax D7.0 27.3.23.2 */
+             if (chan == 2)
+                     return MHZ_TO_KHZ(5935);
              if (chan <= 253)
-                     return 5940 + chan * 5;
+                     return MHZ_TO_KHZ(5950 + chan * 5);


I've asked him to resend (somehow his patch never made it out, only his
own reply did), it was more complete anyway.

I didn't even see operating class 136 (in D6.0) though.
