[   37.598292] warning: `kdeconnectd' uses wireless extensions which will stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware; use nl80211

I get the above message after logging in, this message only happens for the
first process that triggers the condition.

The above URL says that Qt is the cause of this.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-114336

Above is the Qt upstream bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466467

Above is the KDE bug.

I think this is worthy of a Debian patch to KDE so we can have KDE working
with Wifi7 hardware (which will become common during the time that Trixie is
Stable).  Also if we stop the noise from Qt programs we can get bug reports
about other programs which have the same issue.
