Description Mikko Tiihonen 2024-05-14 18:28:12 UTC 
I'm unable to connect to my Wifi 7 AP on 6GHz band using my Lenovo P14s Gen 4 laptop.

Sometimes when the connection fails the following appears on the logs


invalid HE MCS: bw:6, ru:6

Comment 1 The Linux kernel's regression tracker (Thorsten Leemhuis) 2024-05-18 09:11:37 UTC 
Did this worked with 6.8.y kernels? I'm wondering if this is the same issue as the one these fixes address: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20240424064019.4847-1-quic_bqiang@quicinc.com/

Alternative fix: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240506214536.310434f55f76.I6aca291ee06265e3f63e0f9024ba19a850b53a33@changeid/#t
Comment 2 Mikko Tiihonen 2024-05-18 12:36:26 UTC 
Unfortunately I was already running 6.9rc kernels when I got the Wifi7 AP so I have no data on older kernels.

But if it helps I can try to run 6.10 rc build from Fedora. Did the alternative fix get already merged in?

Okay

> Did the alternative fix get already merged in?

Don't think so, so it's likely not worth testing 6.10-prereleases currently
