wifi long range mode (MODE_LR) is not working
Port, board and/or hardware
Waveshare ESP32-S3-ZERO
MicroPython version
MicroPython v1.24.0 on 2024-10-25; Generic ESP32S3 module with ESP32S3
Reproduction
I have been unable to set the long range mode of wifi using micropython.
Either I can't read, or the documentation is lacking, or the feature does not work. Here is the code I tried :
import network
sta = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
sta.active(True)
sta.config(protocol=network.MODE_LR)
Expected behaviour
I expect this to set the LR mode that is available on Espressif devices.
Observed behaviour
Nothing changes, the mode is not set.
print(sta.config("protocol")) reports 8 or 1 when I use MODE_LR or MODE_11B respectively, but anything else throws a 'module' object has no attribute 'MODE_11G', for example. And the link quality does not change

Additional Information
This a dual USB C board, I saw closed issues with this, txpower=17 did not work, tried both usb ports, no change. Tried WPA and no security on AP, no change. Other ESP32 and ESP32-S3 boards connect to AP fine. Almost decided to use ESP32 for project but some dumb ass decided to make the HSPI miso pin 12, which is a strapping pin.
Also tried all other 1.24.1 ports in the generic esp32-s3: 4mb flash and Support for Octal-SPIRAM. No errors were seen on any of the ports. This does usually fix WiFi issues. Am able to preform scan() properly. Probably similar to my issue #15602
