Haha. Ok. NM should be smarter about this and convert channels returned by the driver into frequencies. In the end, I prefer frequencies where at all possible, because channel numbers are _not_ unique (unless you use the the tuple of [standard, band, channel] where standard is something like "802.11" or "802.16", band is "a" or "bg").
My current (but not yet accepted) patch for ieee80211 outputs both channel and frequency as does the "soon to be submitted" one for mac80211. I agree that frequency is unique; however, I find it easier to think in terms of channels. In addition, I only use the bg band and have no confusion. If both are listed, everyone should be happy.
