It's Realtek not Ralink, right ?

Depending on regulatory setting IBSS or IR (initialize radiation) can be
prohibited on some 5GHz channels, check "iw phy" to see which 5GHz channels
are allowed to use. If HW hardcoded regulatory do not prohibits IBSS on all
5GHZ channels it can be matter or setting proper regulatory domain
(configure timezone properly and then setregdomain will set domain based
on it).
