Quoting Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
In ieee80211, the output of scan results lists channels rather than
frequencies; however, NetworkManager needs frequency. This patch
changes the output from channel to frequency.
The driver can report both, and I think it should. This would make the iwlist
output a bit longer, but kernel drivers shouldn't be written to make userspace
program generate pretty output.
I'm trying to remember why NM cares about frequency, and I think it's
for ad-hoc mode; but wpa_supplicant didn't historically support a
"channel" configuration parameter and so you can't create adhoc networks
with NM right now anyway... What's the failure mode?
In the KDE NM applet, the frequency is listed as 0.
