Hi Ben,

I'm confused about the subject - "more often"?

It shouldn't matter whether or not the *driver* (not NIC anyway) uses
that structure - mac80211 uses it throughout internally. As such, this
doesn't really make sense.

I also think that your patch is wrong because it causes a driver that
doesn't report information for the current channel to still have a non-
zero frequency, so userspace won't be able to tell if there's any data
or not.
