Hi guys,

I've been working on a project using the backports project to build some custom wifi modules for different kernel versions.
Now the customer wants to do a wifi-7 chip keeping the infrastructure the same as much as possible. But wifi-7 has been added into kernel 6.5, while the backports project is still at 5.15. And the customer wants that in like 6 months.
So, in the hope I will understand better what would be the easiest solution, I figured I could ask here.
Is there a plan to add support in the backports project for kernel 6.5 or for the wifi-7 changes to the mac80211 and cfg80211 modules?

best regards,
Cristian.
