For AP and mesh interfaces userspace currently sets the channel before the interface is even operating. This isn't really the best API for all drivers, e.g. ath6kl just has to store it until the AP is really started. Similarly, for future multi-channel work it would be better to only commit to the channel when starting the AP. I haven't tested this yet, but I think it's the right way to go. Note how ath6kl is really simplified by it. 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
