I have updated Npcap to 1.71 with the latest version of Wireshark (but the binaries on Npcap website produce the same error) and I have error 0x7b when trying to switch channel (and ask different capabilities) through WlanHelper. However I'm able to switch the WNIC in monitor mode (confirmed on capture as well).

PS C:\Windows\System32\Npcap> .\WlanHelper.exe
WlanHelper for Npcap 1.71 ( https://npcap.com )

PS C:\Windows\System32\Npcap> .\WlanHelper.exe "Wi-Fi 2" mode monitor

I've ticked the "Support raw 802.11 traffic" at installation.
My WNIC is an Alfa AWUS036ACM using a Mediatek MT7612U chipset in case that is relevant.
I'm on Windows 10 version 21H2 (build 19044.2130).

If I'm rolling back to the Npcap 1.60 I don't have this error anymore.
