What I expect to happen:
I expect to be able to scan 5 GHz channels and connect to them using the BCM43602 chipset in a MacBook Pro 11,5.

What happened:
Accoring to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1487524 the support was added, I found I can see the 5 GHz capabilities, but I am unable to connect to a working 5 GHz access point. My firmware files match those mentioned in 1487524 in /lib/firmware/brcm.

~$ lspci | grep Network
         04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01)

I can see that the device supports 5 GHz, but it still can't see any 5 GHz networks.
