Has anybody gotten 6 GHz to work on the Cambium Networks XE3-4? I recently got my hands on one and installed the latest stable 25.12.4 on it.
I know that initially, @Spacebar just got 5 GHz to work on the third radio (see Add support for Cambium Networks XE3-4 ipq6010 - #58 by Spacebar), which is also what works for me. Plus, there was some discussion around that topic (see Qualcommax & ath11k board calibration & BDF data woes - #88 by Spacebar). But did this ever conclude?
Anyway, for me, the third radio PHY does not even advertise anything at 6 GHz.

But how would I get the third radio PHY to actually advertise 6 GHz support? I assume a different BDF would be needed, correct? But how to get that?
BTW: I also started collecting some lore around installation, etc., and created a device page for the XE3-4.
Thanks!
