Otherwise you are stuck in the world domain that doesn’t allow 6Ghz at all. Two choices, either you run iwd and just set Country=DE where this than would be persistent; see iwd.config(5). Or you do this via iw reg set DE manually. wpa_supplicant has a set_country wrapper, but I don’t see it being used anywhere, so I assume you have to do this manually when using wpa_supplicant. And of course tools like crda etc. need to be fully functional to load the appropriate regulatory information. Since any 6Ghz operation is blocked by default. Regards Marcel
