Which doesn't just mean it _has_ 4 NSS though, it also means it
_clients_ to have 4 NSS, if I'm reading the code correctly? So we
correctly don't connect, and the AP incorrectly lets us connect if you
hack out the check.

Arguably the AP should not even include 4 NSS as the minimum
requirement, but of course it can, if it really wants pretty much no
client to connect (in EHT) :-)

Unless I'm misreading the code, but it looks pretty straight-forward.
Check what wireshark says about the EHT operation element?
