The max transmit power of Standard Power (SP) Access Points (AP) on
6 GHz band and APs on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands is limited by effective
isotropic radiated power (EIRP), while the max transmit power of Low
Power Indoor (LPI) APs on 6 GHz Band is limited by power spectral
density (PSD). Therefore the max transmit power of LPI APs grows as the
channel width increases, similar to the noise power which has constant
PSD.
Adjust the RSSI, SNR and throughput estimate based on max transmit power
config and max channel width in the roaming algorithm.

Adjust the SNR of BSSes based on the transmit power config and max

on different channel widths, their SNR decreases on larger channel width
because the noise power is higher, while PSD limited APs have constant
SNR over all channel widths.

Since wpa_supplicant version 2.10 the extended capabilities MSCS and SCS
are advertised in the (Re)Association Request frames.
This causes the association request to be rejected by several access
points. Issue was observed with:
- D-Link DIR600
- TP-Link AC1900
- Synology MR2200ac
To avoid this issue the extended capabilities MSCS and SCS shall only be
added if the bss also supports them. While this may not follow the exact
behavior described in IEEE 802.11, this is a reasonable compromise to
avoid interoperability issues since these capabilities cannot be used
with an AP that does not support them anyway.
Note: The Extended Capabilities element is only included in the
Association Request frames if the AP also sent its extended capabilities
(see wpas_populate_assoc_ies()) as a workaround for misbehaving APs.
This workaround exists since version 2.1.

Drivers will often report regdom changes in the middle of a scan if they
detect during that scan that the regulatory domain has changed. If this
happens and we enter a regdom that supports 6 GHz channels when the
previous one didn't (this often happens in 6 GHz-capable regdoms for
devices after suspend/resume), immediately trigger a 6 GHz-only scan if
we were not able to connect to an AP on a legacy band.
This should significantly improve connection time to 6 GHz AP after
regdom has been reset.

After GO negotiation is completed, the P2P Client needs to scan the GO
before connecting. Only SSID was specified for this and the driver still
might need to scan all channels which wastes time. wpa_supplicant can

this allows the driver sto stop the scan once the specific BSSID is

If 6 GHz is supported by the device but 6 GHz P2P is disabled, P2P

APs in 6 GHz operating with LPI/VLP rules will have significantly lower
SNR values compared to 2.4/5 GHz band APs. Earlier, the estimated
throughputs were used for comparison only when the delta of SNRs between
both the APs was not greater than 7 and as a result for comparing 6 GHz
APs with 2.4/5 GHz APs, estimated throughputs were not getting used.
The estimated throughput calculations takes SNR value also into
consideration, hence remove RSSI delta check if any of the APs are from
the 6 GHz band. This change is limited to the 6 GHz band only in order
to avoid possible regressions with 2.4/5 GHz APs.

wlan0: Selected BSS: 88:3d:24:b4:89:9e freq=2417 level=-67 snr=22 est_throughput=63500
wlan0: Using signal poll values for the current BSS: level=-69 snr=20 est_throughput=54000
