The X2 setting puts channel 12 and 13 in passive / listen-only modes and only starts using them if there is an AP on them. AFAIK this is the same with the XT/XV settings. The problem is that the XT setting results in 5G not being available on some boards even though the hw supports it. Also note that we already use the X2 setting for any EFI supplied nvram files where ccode=ALL or ccode=XV, this just extends the handling we already have to also patch ccode=XT. Regards, Hans
