Hey Guys, I’m a total noob.
This is the first time I’m using linux and I really want to keep using Manjaro. However, I can’t connect to 5Ghz on my laptop. I’ve tried all the internet (and sadly AI) ideas I possibly could.
Here is inxi -zv8 output. (I’m sorry if I’m supposed to format it in a specific way. I couldn’t find anything regarding that)

I can’t possibly remember everything I’ve tried so far…Here’s a somewhat documentation from Claude based on what I’ve shared with it
Firmware and Driver Fixes:
Decompressed firmware files - Your QCA6174 firmware was compressed (.xz files), we decompressed them to .bin files
Fixed firmware permissions - Set correct ownership and permissions on firmware files
Reloaded ath10k driver - Multiple attempts to reload ath10k_pci module
Set WiFi regulatory domain - Tried sudo iw reg set BD (Bangladesh)
Modified NetworkManager connection - Used nmcli con modify “Shahriar5G” 802-11-wireless.band a
Installed ath10k-fixer - AUR package to monitor and reload the driver automatically
Kernel Lockdown Bypass Attempts:
Added kernel parameter - lockdown=none in GRUB configuration (didn’t work)
Stopped AppArmor - Attempted to disable security restrictions
Built firmware into initramfs - Added firmware files to early boot loading via mkinitcpio.conf
Network Management Changes:
Switched to iwd - You mentioned changing from NetworkManager to iwd
Checked for hardware blocks - Used rfkill commands
Diagnostic Commands We Used:
iwlist wlp1s0 freq (consistently showed “no frequency information”)
dmesg | grep ath10k (showed “Operation not permitted” errors)
cat /sys/kernel/security/lockdown (showed persistent integrity restrictions)
PLEASE HELP. SORRY FOR THE LONG LOOONG POST
