Regardless of what iwconfig reports as the mode or rate, you should be=20 able to associate to an AP in either spectrum (2.4 or 5.2) using any=20 valid rate. Once configured and associated, iwconfig should provide=20 more correct information. If association is failing, verify that 'iwlist scan' shows the AP and=20 that you specify everything for the association, eg: iwconfig wlan0 channel 8 essid MyAP ap 00:13:f0:0d:ca:fe d80211 will only attempt to associate once -- if it fails, then you nee= d=20 to currently "de-configure" the device and reconfigure it back to what=20 you want to associate to. I do that here by chaging the AP BSSID to=20 something else then changing it back. If you use wpa_supplicant, it=20 does the re-association attempts for you.
