Wifi 5Ghz Issue - nicolaos - 09-17-2025
New Pinenote user here, running on Debian Trixie. I've read the recent blog post explaining the issues with Wifi using 5Ghz, and indeed I can't connect my Pinenote to my home network on that frequency.
The blog post explains 2 workarounds, the first of which involves changing your network to only use specific bands. I'm not particularly interested in that option as it won't work on any other networks when I'm away from home and I don't want to jeopardize performance to my other devices.
What's not clear to me is if there's any action I can take to try out the second workaround listed there. It sounds like a more robust way to solve the issue, but the blog post doesn't seem to contain any instructions or links to instructions for how to actually do it.

Hi and welcome! ?
At the moment, the second workaround mentioned in the blog post isn’t user-actionable yet stickman clash— it requires kernel/driver changes that haven’t been packaged or documented for end users. Until those updates land, there’s unfortunately nothing specific you can try on your side beyond the first workaround. Hopefully clearer instructions or fixes will be shared in a future update.
