I am less sure about this patch.  With the existing code,
I think it should catch going from on channel to off
and do the hw config properly.

With your change it will also reconfig the hardware, but it will
reconfig even if we were already on-channel (if, for instance,
local->tmp_channel is oper-channel), right?

I think even if we're already on the same channel, we might still have
the off-channel flag (IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL) set? So the patch might
still be needed to clear that?

Well, maybe so, but if we are not off-channel and still have the off-channel
flag set, that would seem to be another bug.
