Hello list,

Is 5GhZ wifi expected to work in my situation? 2.4 GHz works pretty much 
out of the box (only necessary rc.conf configuration)

FreeBSD-14 Current, built yesterday.
ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen6
Chip: Intel AX201 (vendor=0x8086 device=0xa0f0)

I have 2 wireless networks at home 2.4 and 5 GhZ respectively
Home-2: SSID for 2.4 GHz b/g/n
Home-5: SSID for 5 GHz a/n/ac

Other devices (smartphones, OSX and Linux laptops work fine on 5)


wpa_supplicant.conf (good):

    network={
         ssid="Home-2"
         psk="xxxx"
    }



wpa_supplicant.conf (bad):

    network={
         ssid="Home-5"
         psk="xxxx"
    }

Changing SSID to 5GHz results in no wifi.
`service netif restart` finishes, with wlan0 device with no carrier.
Is there a way to make 5GHz work in my situation or is it not yet supported?

Thanks
