Hi Luca,
Greeting of the day!!
We are using Intels "ax210ngw" card with "iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-66.ucode"
firmware, we are using the kernel from "5.15.0-rc7" tag.
The problem we are facing is we are not able to enable 6GHz channels
for Germany region. Following is the output for "iw reg get"

The iw phy# info also shows that the 6GHz channels are not enabled. We
have found one commit which is included in the "5.15.0-rc7" tag which
indicates that 6Ghz channels are now supported in the driver.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git/commit/?id=cdf854d2ddca01bf126ac138a8ee3e5d6320086f
From "iw reg get" output it looks like the intel firmware may not be
supporting the 6GHz channels.
When we can we expect the support for 6GHz channels for Germany?
Warm regards,
Sharadanand Karanjkar
