This isn't a fatal error, just a warning. It means IWD couldn't parse
either HE/VHT/HT or basic rates from the scan results. This just means
that BSS gets a very low rank.

The above warning definitely won't cause a disconnect.

It is probably a network around you that isn't yours and IWD's quick
scan isn't seeing it. You'll probably see it if you do a full scan
again.
