A TP-Link WDR4300 I'm using is trying to connect to an existing mesh of Picostations on a 2.4GHz channel. It fails to join the ad-hoc network, and when I run "iw dev wlan0 station dump", it indicates that for every nearby peer in the network that is has successfully authenticated but has *failed* to authorize.
