NetBox version

v4.07

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

In the file netbox\netbox\dcim\choices.py, at line 881 is a list of available Wi-Fi standards. The list is presently missing support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard IEEE 802.11be

Use case

Allows users to add new devices that are supporting Wi-Fi 7 such as the Unifi U7-Pro

Database changes

I don't believe this would require a schema change... just an extension of list of supported standards already present

External dependencies

None

Back in my day the only 802.11b was 11 Mbps, and we were happy to have it!
