Created attachment 306342 [details] lspci-output Hi, On my Lenovo P14s Gen 4 AMD, I noticed that with 6.9 I can't connect to a 6ghz AP anymore: 2024-05-24T13:46:06.027948-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: wl0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 9e:05:d6:ae:ed:32 (SSID='void-6g' freq=6135 MHz) 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028110-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: wl0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed The, I think, relevant excerpt from wpa_supplication debug-level logs shows: 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028040-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: nl80211: Authenticate (ifindex=5) 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028042-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: * bssid=9e:05:d6:ae:ed:32 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028043-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: * freq=6135 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028044-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: * SSID=void-6g 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028046-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: * IEs - hexdump(len=0): [NULL] 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028050-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: * auth_data - hexdump(len=102): 01 00 7e 00 13 00 62 28 8c 9b 95 8c d1 0e 3d ea 04 78 38 dc 87 79 7c cf 16 de 0d df 54 31 1d 50 7a da 1a 2a 56 e9 a6 a2 de b9 ae 7b e6 1b 82 e7 cb b8 45 3e 77 76 f3 fb 2e 52 74 8a 5d c3 66 36 46 4c 12 4b ec 80 d2 f6 91 ec 5> 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028053-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: * Auth Type 4 2024-05-24T13:46:06.028108-07:00 alap6 wpa_supplicant[1173]: wl0: nl80211: MLME command failed (auth): count=0 ret=-22 (Invalid argument) The exact same AP configuration does work with earlier kernels. I bisected the regression, which unfortunately ended up blaming a merge.

I was suspicious of the bisection result, but it reproduces across several boots. I tried upgrading the firmware from Debian's firmware-atheros=20230625-2. But there was no improvement with the firmware from linux-firmware (ec8627ef), nor ath11k-firmware (ec8627ef).

This commit should fix it: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/commit/?h=ath-current&id=6e16782d6b4a724f9c9dcd49471219643593b60c Please let me know if it helped or not. That commit is queued for v6.10.
Yes, it indeed does fix the problem. I applied it on top of 6c76dd3a91e33 (the first commit that didn't work), and that sufficed to be able to connect again.
