It sounds like your card could be calibrated as a world roaming card and
it does not allow AP mode to be started on 5 GHz channels. You can check
the available channel list with "iw list". The channels that are marked
"disabled" or "passive scanning" won't be available for hostapd to use
in AP mode.

Yes.
