802.11 w/ airmon-ng monitor mode - channel setting for 6 GHz?

edit

I'm running Wireshark 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 20.10 with 5.11 kernel. The Wi-Fi NIC is Intel AX-210 with iwlwifi driver for AX-210: iwlwifi-ty-59.601f3a66.0.tgz

I'm using airmon-ng in monitor mode. I can capture management frames, but I cannot set the channel properly.

The usage for airmon-ng is

usage: airmon-ng <start|stop> <interface> [channel]

where the channel is a channel number, not a frequency.

That works fine for 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. However the new 6 GHz band defines a numbering scheme that is overlaps with lower bands. The channels are from channel 1 at 5955 MHz to channel 233 at 7115 MHz.

How is airmon-ng configured to use the 6 GHz band?

in monitor mode, iwconfig:

wlp2s0mon  IEEE 802.11  Mode:Monitor  Frequency:2.457 GHz  Tx-Power=-2147483648 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on
