bestie these are the constants, and yes every single one matters, don't skip π₯
REG_CAPA_V5_160MHZ_ALLOWEDβ 11ac channel with a width of 160Mhz is allowed for this regulatory domain (valid only in 5Ghz). big channel energy fr fr β¨REG_CAPA_V5_80MHZ_ALLOWEDβ 11ac channel with a width of 80Mhz is allowed for this regulatory domain (valid only in 5Ghz). 80 is still cute, we love her π«ΆREG_CAPA_V5_MCS_12_ALLOWEDβ 11ac with MCS 12 is allowed. she said yes to MCS 12 πREG_CAPA_V5_MCS_13_ALLOWEDβ 11ac with MCS 13 is allowed. and MCS 13 too, iconic πREG_CAPA_V5_11BE_DISABLEDβ 11be is forbidden for this regulatory domain. π« not me getting blocked from 11be πREG_CAPA_V5_11AX_DISABLEDβ 11ax is forbidden for this regulatory domain. yeah 11ax is not invited to this party either πREG_CAPA_V5_320MHZ_ALLOWEDβ 11be channel with a width of 320Mhz is allowed for this regulatory domain (valid only in 5GHz). 320Mhz??? obsessed, she ate πβREG_CAPA_V5_11BN_DISABLEDβ UHR is not allowed for this regulatory domain. UHR sweetie i'm so sorry, not today π
lowkey reminder: the 160Mhz and 80Mhz ones are valid only in 5Ghz, and the 320Mhz one is valid only in 5GHz. keep that straight bestie, iykyk π
