Proposed changes

Add WiFi-6e (802.11ax at 6GHz) to VyOS

How to test

Testing is explained in https://vyos.dev/T6320 as there is a sample VyOS config given.
Configure a WiFi NIC in HE mode (802.11ax) at 6GHz
Connect to that box from a different machine using either wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager.
Use iperf3 to test throughput.

Smoketest result

As of May 30th, smoketests succeed.

I'm worried about smoketest fails.

I think completion and help can also be improved quite a bit.

I'm worried about smoketest fails.

Hi Viacheslav,

There is one test test_wireless_hostapd_wpa_config constantly failing on assertRaises(ConfigSessionError). However, this exception is being thrown on test execution, as one can see in the test output where there is the exception error message present. I'm out of clue why assertRaises does not capture the exception here.

There is also another test case test_wireless_security_station_address which fails erraticaly. Sometimes it fails, sometimes not. My "fix" with time.sleep(1) did not help there. Here, I am also out of clue why this happens.

Until now, I fail to see a link pointing to the newly implemented HE feature as reason why these test cases do not work.

Any advice on the matter would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

@alainlamar which hardware do you use for WIFI 6e?

@alainlamar which hardware do you use for WIFI 6e?

I use Mediatek devices due to the lack of availability of decent Qualcomm Atheros (ath11k) here in Germany. I have these WiFi modules under test:

Mediatek Filogic 630 (MT7916) Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. Device [14c3:7906]
Mediatek Filogic 330 (MT7922/AMD-RZ616) Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:0616]

I am testing on a PC-Engines APU3 using a mPCIe version of the MT7916 module and the MT7922 M.2 NGFF module on a DeLOCK adapter to fit into mPCIe.
