In another thread we discuss why my access points don't want to really come up with wireless networks.

You only have a single enabled provisioning rule for 5GHz interfaces, so 2.4GHz won't provision To remove chance for user error, I'd recommend using provisioning rules, instead of adding static CAP interfaces That's what I'd like to have.
