Hi,
The “atheros-firmware.noarch 20251111-1.fc43“ does not show 5Ghz SSIDs and cannot connect to them they’re added manually.
I had those entries in the logs

I had to do this to make it work :
- Downgrade to atheros-firmware-20251021-1.fc43.noarch
- Create this file : vim /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DZ (where I live) - reboot
Regards.
