Tomas,

No joy. Did I git the wrong tree?

(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git)

Still had to apply your patch (offset 223 lines this time). Also applied
the media/built-in.o patch so my config would compile. Wpa_supplicant
(v0.6.3) still reports 0 for the channel of 11A stations:

I've appended output of iwlist scan and dmesg. Any other logs of
interest?
