Not that anything even cares ... so there's no point in adding a 6GHz
flag to radiotap.

Separate flag for 6GHz would have been best option, but I still think
better to set 5GHz as 6GHz frequencies start in 5GHz range.

But why? wireshark probably needs to be adjusted anyway, so it can just
look at the frequency instead? And it would pretend that it's now an
"11a" frame ... so that clearly never was important, since that hasn't
been true since HT.

It has been couple of month ago that I looked into wireshark about
this and I think it is already ignoring the band flags and just looks
at the frequency.

Ok, thanks for letting me know!
