Commit Message

Chung-Hsien Hsu May 12, 2026, 1:26 p.m. UTC 
The legacy ieee80211ac=1 STATUS flag is currently set based only on the
presence of a VHT Capabilities element in the Association Response. This
can report ieee80211ac=1 for HE/EHT associations on non-6 GHz bands
where VHT capabilities are present as well.

wpas_parse_connection_info() already derives the actual connection mode
from both the Association Request and Response IEs and excludes the 2.4
GHz vendor VHT extension from connection_vht. Use that result for the
legacy ieee80211ac STATUS flag instead of parsing the Association
Response separately.

This keeps ieee80211ac=1 limited to VHT/IEEE 802.11ac associations.
