I'm happy to hear that! :-) I'll also note that since multi-link / WiFi7 support is far more complex, newer devices with multi-link capability will not have support for wireless extensions, even if it's enabled /proc/net/wireless will exist but the netdevs for them won't show up. Since that affects only new hardware, it's not a regression, though I guess in some cases it might technically depend on the driver. johannes
