This week I noted a number of wireless updates and updated my system to the
head yesterday. I now see many 5G channels including my own router.
> ifconfig wlan0 list chan
Channel   1 : 2412  MHz 11g ht       Channel  11 : 2462  MHz 11g ht
Channel   2 : 2417  MHz 11g ht       Channel  36 : 5180  MHz 11a vht
Channel   3 : 2422  MHz 11g ht       Channel  40 : 5200  MHz 11a vht
Channel   4 : 2427  MHz 11g ht       Channel  44 : 5220  MHz 11a vht
Channel   5 : 2432  MHz 11g ht       Channel  48 : 5240  MHz 11a vht
Channel   6 : 2437  MHz 11g ht       Channel 149 : 5745  MHz 11a vht
Channel   7 : 2442  MHz 11g ht       Channel 153 : 5765  MHz 11a vht
Channel   8 : 2447  MHz 11g ht       Channel 157 : 5785  MHz 11a vht
Channel   9 : 2452  MHz 11g ht       Channel 161 : 5805  MHz 11a vht
Channel  10 : 2457  MHz 11g ht       Channel 165 : 5825* MHz 11a

Channel 11 is the one I am connected to while 157 is my 5G channel. My
system still ony will connect to the 2.4G channel, but I want to try
forcing it to the 5M channel.

Would adding "mode 11a" to the rc.conf entry for this interface be what has
worked for tleast some other?
