I am not very familar with the entire wireless subsystem yet, but wouldn't that imply a interface change in cfg80211 and mac80211 to add an "get_channel" function? Because if the card is hopping channels (e.g. because of 2 station interfaces on different channels), only the driver itself can tell what's really the current channel. Nevertheless a default implementation for this new "get_channel" can be written at mac80211 level (or even cfg80211?), which tries to find the current channel by looking at all virtual interfaces, so only mac80211 drivers which allow multiple channels (and non-mac80211 drivers) need to implement it.
