In the ath drivers we've been trying to avoid using the terms 2G/5G/6G 
to describe frequencies since that usage conflicts with the cellular use 
of similar terms to describe generations of the technology, and further 
could cause confusion now that WFA is also defining generations of Wi-Fi 
by number instead of by IEEE 802.11 amendment.

To that end it would be nice if we could universally adopt using proper 
SI terminology when referring to Wi-Fi frequencies:
2 GHz (or 2.4 GHz), 5 GHz, & 6 GHz
