 </li>
 <li>New attributes <b>QosTxop::AddBaResponseTimeout</b> and <b>QosTxop::FailedAddBaTimeout</b> have been added to set the timeout to wait for an ADDBA response after the ACK to the ADDBA request is received and to set the timeout after a failed BA agreement, respectively.
 </li>
+  <li> Added a new trace source <b>EndOfHePreamble</b> in WifiPhy for tracing end of preamble (after training fields) for received 802.11ax packets.</li>
