Hmm. Interesting observation, I wasn't aware of that.

That certainly explains the situation though - on 2.4 GHz we'd prefer
using the DS Element, and thus not use the scan result, while on 5 GHz
we assume that the reported RX frequency is correct (there's no channel
overlap).

Still doesn't explain why it should work in 4.17 and not in 4.18, there
aren't a lot of wifi changes there at all.

I guess we should fix that in hwsim, anyone esle want to? :-)
