Re: pci-half-mini 7260 Wireless AC support 3.13

On a Cisco 5508 controller with a lightweight AP, you can see the
protocol the radio the client connects to.  If they are in fact AC
capable, you will see them connect to the AC radio inside the AP
through the controller.  While I see this with many devices, it never
happens under linux.  The AP has multiple radios in it.

Although it is a similar setup, no.  I am able to connect on ALL
radios but the AC radio's on the 3702's.  I encounter no bugs, no loss
of connection.  However, I NEVER connect to the AC radio on the AP.  I
know it works due to my Nexus 5 connecting to the AC radio
immediately.  If the 3702 saw that my adapter was AC capable, it would
use the AC radio and not the A/N.  Also, every other device with
wireless AC connects fine without issue, even the same laptop on it's
Windows 8 partition.
All of this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. What do you even mean by
"AC radio" in this context? Is there a separate SSID? BSSID? something
else?

If it is AC capable, how do I get it to connect to the AC radio's on
the AP?  It is entirely possible it is something Cisco/Linux related
with how they communicate as well.
I don't see how the AP would be able to choose where the client
connects, without maybe some CCX stuff that Linux doesn't have.
