As Bob pointed out your scan shows two beacons received on different BSSes:
00:80:48:5c:86:5d
00:80:48:5c:86:48
The TSF on the second one seems odd though. Do you have access to the
AP? Can you change the channel to see if you see the two beacons on a
new channel?
Can you try rebooting it?

Yeah ask him for the actual MAC address of the BSS you are supposed to
be connecting to. Did you tell him your cards are seeing two beacons
from it?
Might want to get a sniffer an capture two beacons to show this info.

Sorry, no. I have no access to that AP, but i can ask the owner if he
may reboot it, or if he faces any problems with it.
