Larry,
Sorry about all these extra replies. Shortly after I sent my last
message my access point started recognizing the connection as 802.11ac
with PHY Rate / Modulation Rate of 866.6 Mbps. What is somewhat
misleading is the information reported by iwconfig (see bit rate below).
$ iwconfig wlo1
wlo1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"XXXXXXXXXX-5G"

The utility iwconfig is obsolete and not exactly up to date with the latest in
wireless. I am not an expert on iw, but I think you want 'iw dev wlo1 link'.
I am wondering about the missing firmware stage. Had you not done the 'sudo make
install' step, or did that step fail to install the firmware?
