Hi, I need to have a RTL8812AU based wifi usb dongle ( an Edimax AC600) to work in 802.11AC mode. I can make it work on 2,4GHz band without problem (b, g or n) and on 5GHz only in "a" mode. I was using hostpad form debian repository and I thought it may be old or uncompatible. I know some usb dongle require a particular hostapd from Realtek. I've compiled latest version from git with "CONFIG_IEEE80211AC=y" in .config file. Problem is the same, it keeps telling me I'm in 802.11b mode and channel is not avaiiable: -> /usr/local/bin//hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd1.conf wlan1: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE wlan1: IEEE 802.11 Configured channel (36) not found from the channel list of current mode (0) IEEE 802.11b wlan1: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured channel Could not select hw_mode and channel.

I hope someone here can help me.
