Fix for AC wifi to enable 80 mhz channels #424

Without this fix I was getting 20 mhz channels on AC and 40 mhz channels on N. Applied I get 80 mhz channels on AC+N. It is Interesting when N=0 and AC=1 the speed is very low, but with N=1 and AC=1 I get the proper AC speeds so it seems the AC wifi can't live without N 5 ghz wifi - both have to be enabled for AC to work.

IEEE80211N=1 IEEE80211AC=1 CHANNEL=149

Tested on Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8265, REV=0x230 firmware version 36.77d01142.0 op_mode iwlmvm

One needs to download the latest drivers from the main Intel dev in order for it to work on intel hardware: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git/tree/
