hi fellas, was along time ago since post something, anyway
this is for who has got qulacom cards (wcn785x-wifi7/wcn685x-wifi6e) and suffering from poor performance and speed. There is a mandatory upstream patch , while building (mainline snapshot repo), put it under /package/kernel/mac80211/patches/subsys/, for mainline 24.10 repo, try to use this patch
