@akvadrako: The configuration option is still labeled as "experimental" and a "work in progress".

If this changes with 2.10, we can certainly consider it though.

So, what's up with 2.10 ☺?

This would be great to have with more 802.11ax adapters now out in the market.

It appears the note about IEEE 802.11ax HE support being experimental/WIP has since been removed (refer hostapd/defconfig file in project source). Also one mention of 802.11ax in the ChangeLog for v2.10 - 'extended HE (IEEE 802.11ax) support, including 6 GHz support'.

Hooray for updated config! I should also note this feature is shipped with OpenWRT and other tools for a while now without issue.
