I don't think so -- I don't recall anyone ever asking before ;-) FWIW, I think right now we need to simply query mac80211's oper_channel somehow -- that'll be good enough until that goes away for real multi-channel operation. Using the channel that was set on the monitor interfaces like these patches have done is obviously flawed because monitor interfaces have absolutely no influence on the channel unless that's all there is. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
