# This is set up for an AX200 Mini PCIe card inside my Thinkpad T520 and
# no matter how hard I've tried, I haven't been able to get 5GHz AP to work
# I am not sure it's an issue with HostAPD because I've read Intel disabled
# AP support in the 5GHz channel, but there are some "fixes" in the AUR that
# may or may not be helpful - they seemed like too much work to me personally
# as I really don't depend on WIFI for anything besides browsing on IOS devices
# if anyone feeling collaborative wants to look into this more deeply, please
# send me a PR - thanks!
