My debian version is 12.9, my kernel release is 6.1.0-29-amd64, and hostapd version v2.10 (2:2.10-12+deb12u2).
On different wireless adapters, I used to be using a intel chip, and ran into similar issues. But after digging I found this is a well known flaw due to intel LRA. I tried a wifi 5 Qualcomm chip with similar problems, but the fixes seemed to work less well (only unblocked some channels, didn't manage to set the regulatory domain), and less bandwidth as a result. I read about manufacturers being pressured into restricting the regulatory domain more, but I couldn't find much more information on how to work with those.
The hostapd config was inspired by multiple ax configs (I can't remember which to be honest), and then perfected to get the maximum bandwidth (adding the HT and VHT flags for example). As far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything very unusual in it.
