Frequency is wrong
SUMMARY
The connected network Details section in the Networks widget shows the wrong
frequency and channel when back-end is IWD.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On KDE Neon, Debian or other distro install and switch to iwd as explained
here: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager/iwd
2. Open the Networks widget.
3. Click on the currently connected network and then its "Details" tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Compared to the "station wlan0 show" command in the iwctl tool, that says
that the frequency is: "5745"...
And the wavemon tool that says the the frequency is "5745"...
And the phone's hotspot configuration that says that the security is: "Band ->
5 GHz preferred"...
The Networks widget says that the frequency is: "2.417 GHz (Channel 2)", which
is wrong!
2. Compared to the wavemon tool that says the the channel is "149 (width: 80
MHz)"...
The channel is wrong too!
The iwctl tool unfortunately doesn't show the channel and I have no idea how
wavemon manages to figure it out.
EXPECTED RESULT
1 and 2. The Networks widget should say that the frequency and channel of the
connected network is "5745 (Channel 149, width 80)", when the back-end is IWD
instead of WPA-Supplicant.
Or display the Channel and its width on a separate line below the frequency,
but normally I prefer them to be all on the same line as frequency.
