Can not Create 5Ghz Hotspot on Linux but On Windows 10 it works #281

I can successfully create 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz Hotspot on Windows 10 but 5 Ghz Hotspot creation fails on Garuda Linux. It uses zen kernel. Even if I am connected to a 5 GHz wifi connection still I can not create 5 GHz Hotspot and it says: Your adapter can not transmit to channel 36, frequency band 5GHz. I tried changing to every 5 GHz channel in 'iw list' command on my terminal:

But every time I get the above error. Even selecting Auto mode does not work Only 2.4 works. But I confirm 5GHz hotspot works on Windows 10 while connection to a 5Ghz wifi. But same not works on Linux.

My Wireless Card is Intel Centino Dual band 6235

I tried a channel that didn't have any of those, 157 and it worked.
