Intel ax210 capture only 11a frames

[manohark]

Dear Dear expert, 

I brought AX210 chip and placed it in HP laptop(M.2) and installed all required packages to work in monitor mode. But in wireshark i can see frames are in 11a mode. No VHT, HE frames are seen.

where as when i connect to AP i can see higher rates. Which means chips is connected properly.

Can some one help what is wrong?

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi debug=0x1
sudo ifconfig wlo1 down
sudo iw wlo1 set type monitor
sudo ifconfig wlo1 up
sudo iw wlo1 set freq 5180 HT40+

Hello manohark,  

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

In order to better assist you, please provide the following:  

1. Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) to gather more details about the system.  

· Download the Intel® SSU and save the application on your computer:   https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows-

· Open the application, check the "Everything" checkbox, and click "Scan" to see the system and device information. The Intel® SSU defaults to the "Summary View" on the output screen following the scan. Click the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".  

· To save your scan, click Next and click Save.  

2. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed on your computer or did you change/install the adapter to this one?  

3. Have you tried the latest Intel drivers?

4. Have you checked with HP for drivers and instructions?

After using below packages issue resolved.

• Ensure that the laptop is connected to the internet .
• Install packages

1. sudo apt update
