Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not quite, It would just be nice if the app can support AX mode (my modules from sparklan do support that)

Describe the solution you'd like A possibility of selecting AX next to A and AC

Describe alternatives you've considered Well... really? :D

Additional context I want my SoftAP to be as fast as possible :)

Is it something missing in create_ap or just on the GUI? It's weird because hostapd supports it

Sorry I did not do a follow-up. Hostapd does seem to support it, but at the time I created this issue it was experimental only - you needed to build your own hostapd with a certain macro defined to make it work. IDK what is the situation right now.

I've downloaded hostapd through the official Fedora DNF repos and the setting worked out of the box. create_ap uses it under the hood, but I don't know if it's implemented there, adding the flag didn't work. In my case I wanted to test ALVR with a vr headset and ultra low latency is a must
