i have done it via rc.local instead of directly via the module load
I can't find any wed dts definitions though... however the 5.4 kernel has!
echo "Y" > /sys/module/mt7996e/parameters/wed_enable
/sbin/smp-mt76.sh
been investigating the be200 / intel not been able to find the banana radio2 wifi7 and noticed if I scan the network I get
Country: US Environment: bogus
this is very odd ... as I would be expecting Environment: Indoor/Outdoor
I forced the mac80211.sh script to pass country3=0x20 and still shows bogus!
the radio1 (5g) shows environment indoor/outdoor as it should

Idk if it helps, but here are my findings.
I noticed low speeds and disconnects on my earlier configuration tries. Changed 5 & 6 ghz to WPA3 (now sae, was mixed sae before). And after that at least wifi 6 is working, and get up to my max internet speed via wifi (900mbps up&down).
My current issue is: I do see a 6ghz band in the wifi scanner op my phone, but the wifi connection is not marked as 5G/6G in Android. Also when connected on my phone and laptop (which should both support at least 6E) they both show only 5Ghz band and just Wifi 6.
When I separate SSID on the different radio's i noticed my laptop doesnt see the 6ghz one (i guess it must be BE200). And Android still doesnt show me 6 ghz or 6E.
It looks to me something is off with 6ghz. I am on the mda-bananapi4-openwrt 6.6.50 10 / LuCI Master 24.258.18373~e592652 build right now.
Ps: ipv6 also doesnt work right now (worked before using snapshot), could also be my lack of knowledge with ipv6. Would love also to get some suggestions here
I usually run script:
if ! grep -q wed_enable /etc/modules.conf ; then echo "options mt7996e wed_enable=Y" >> /etc/modules.conf; fi
after reboot I have Y in /sys/module/mt7996e/parameters/wed_enable , but the wireless network does not work.
If it works on your side, it means that I need to check it once again 
@gvisser5 why don't you include /etc/config/wireless config file here? It is hard to say what can be an issue.
It was mentioned here already: it is better right now to put HE160 instead of EHT320, because EHT320 requires to change the country to e.g. JP and the speeds for HE got better results
I did notice that changing the country code to JP and back didn't change a thing.
I am not sure if this is correct, I am looking for WiFi 6E / WiFi 7 support. The 'be' option is available on all radio's,but it only seems to work on radio4. I have configured:
- radio0 as 'n'
- radio1 as 'ax'
- radio4 as 'be'
I tried to follow your post and tried to copy the configuration from it. However I reverted back to just 802.11r Fast Transition for all WiFi interfaces because I was using that already for everything at home. See [Banana BPI-R4] Wifi7 status - #142 by danpawlik
My current config is:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'

Edit: my laptop adapter is not Intel be200, its MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616) 160MHz PCIe Adapter
You are onto something, that's probably what prevents the BE200 from connecting to the 6Ghz access point. I wonder where the environment setting is defined.

i will need to check "iw" as maybe hasn't been upgraded to support 11be but yes it is weird

The 6Ghz band isn't visible on the BE200 using AX mode either unfortunately.
Snapshots from OpenWRT now contains updated Hostapd (2024-09-15), as of right now the Banana pi R4 has not been updated to the latest snapshot but that will probably happen in a day or 2.

I spotted an issue, but for 6GHz, when 320MHz was set, that if something has been connected to 5GHz network, I was not able to connect to 6GHz (but I was able to see that network).
Could you set (base on that):
uci set wireless.default_radio1.log_level=1
uci set wireless.default_radio2.log_level=1
uci commit wireless
wifi up
# or reboot router after commit
and paste the logs here.
That's what I already reported here
Created a build that includes @rmandrad patch (special thanks to @rmandrad for doing that!) for Luci (and related projects to that).
Build with my main_router packages is here
I triggered version with modemmanager,fail2ban etc. Should be available soon.
@rmandrad so far, I can say you have done good job. There are few things missing, but I think here is not a place for such discussion - it should be done directly in the PR

thx @danpawlik
I opened a separate pull https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/7279 for luci noting the dependencies on rpcd and iwinfo. Also, found the pull you mentioned had a few more bugs/issues.
I can't see anyone looking after rpcd ...

so been hunting this "bogus" environment reported by iw dev scan on radio2 and can see is set by iw to "bogus" when country_env_str(data[2]) hasn't been set.
Even if I set the country3 third octet to 0x20 (indoor/outdoor) on hostpad (dot11CountryString) it still shows "bogus".
So it needs to be something on the mt76 / mt7996 code.
this maybe a red herring @nbd would you know ? the radio2 for the mt7996 when set to 6ghz / 11be shows bogus when doing a iw dev scan ... would this be a reason for intel be200 not finding radio2 ? I can connect if using mt7925

Is BE320 still limitting bandwith ? Seem like maximum I can get is below 200Mbit, AX is using whole available.
yes about the same here .. with 320mhz width

I think u need to add kmod usb serial to let ur system detect modems for modem manager
its interesting looking to hear the news 
Will you release a new PR?
Added CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-usb-serial-wwan=y + triggered build.
Should be available soon.
Edit. build is available now
BTW, if someone want to check the wireless network speed, it is better to use iperf3 or librespeed-go (I also put screen from nperf, which was not showing current results). The last one gives nice output via web browser.
Example result - 5GHz, 160MHz, 1 wall, AX:
