From: Hante Meuleman <redacted> By default the 5G band has an advantage of 8 dBm on the RSSI when it comes to selection during join and roam. This patch adds a module param to make this value configurable. Using the value 99 results in configuration that 5G has always preference over 2.4G.

I'm not sure here, is a module parameter really the right way to configure something like this? -- Kalle Valo
