Hi,
SoftMAC output the channel twice in the scan output. It should
display frequency and channel, but only once for each.
--------------------------------------------------------
Cell 02 - Address: A2:00:04:XX:XX:XX
ESSID:"TheESSID"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11b
Mode:Ad-Hoc
-> Channel:5
-> Frequency:2.432 GHz (Channel 5)
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s
Quality=95/100 Signal level=-47 dBm Noise level=-65 dBm
Extra: Last beacon: 120ms ago
--------------------------------------------------------
The fix is simple, patch attached, tested for 2.6.22 with
bcm43xx. If you like it, send it to John.

Jean
