It's not very helpful to see, in iwconfig, the current frequency
the card is tuned to if that frequency is currently somewhere
across the board because we're scanning. Since we keep track of
the frequency the user wants, display that instead.

Nack. People should see the hardware channel. If I set channel 6 and my wifi card is on channel 11 I need to see 11 not 6. Doesn't make any sense to show some imaginary idealistic "I wish it was on channel 6" when the hardware is on channel 11. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Rick Farina
