ffff MHz [cc] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In other words you cannot send beacons or other frames on this channel.
Does it have anything to do with regulation restrictions? I have succeeded at connecting to an AP at 5 GHz in managed mode.
Yes. Once you start a mesh, it will create the mesh and start beaconing immediately, so the regulatory domain of your device and/or CRDA may prevent you from doing this. In managed mode, the device is not beaconing so it doesn't have this limitation, although it will not be able to send probe requests. -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/
