airodump-ng wifi6e (6ghz) "band" argument support
Author: OscarAkaElvisCreated Oct 19, 2023Updated May 16, 2026
Hello, I saw in aircrack-ng v1.7 changelog that 6ghz feature was added. I tested it and yeah, my wifi6e card airodump scan is now hopping through new channels, but what I miss is a configuration argument to handle this in the same way can be done for 5ghz. I mean the "--band" argument for the airodump command line.
--band bg -> for 2.4ghz --band abg -> for 5ghz --band xxxx <- something for 6ghz
It could be nice to have this feature for the near future. That will allow to the scripters like me to handle this new band in the same way. Thanks.
