I think to have the information which frequency it is - is a very nice
feature for the userspace software. So I of course like to have a
feature like this.
I tested it with the fakelb driver which have a lot of supported
channels according to the page. The channel listing will be 117 lines,
so fakelb is here a special case, but maybe we can do ~3 frequencies per
line sperarated with comma and a tab. After ~3 frequencies then starts a
newline again.
Example:
page 0:
[11] 2405 MHz, [12] 2410 MHz, [13] 2415 MHz,
[14] 2420 MHz, [15] 2425 MHz, [16] 2430 MHz,
[17] 2435 MHz, [18] 2440 MHz, [19] 2445 MHz,
....
(normally, it should something which fits in 80 chars terminal width)
don't know if this is the best idea. Or we introduce some verbose output
option.

This is very nice. :-)
Also I detected that I get a lot of:
page 1:
[0] MHz
[1] MHz
[2] MHz
[3] MHz
[4] MHz
[5] MHz
[6] MHz
[7] MHz
[8] MHz
[9] MHz
[10] MHz
with the fakelb driver. I suppose this is only because you implemented
page 0 only. Maybe do a "[0] unknown MHz", here? Just added the wort
"unknown".
Another note is that this should be implemented to the new channel/page
attr style which is part of the phy capabilities [0]. Currently there exists
two implementations to get the supported channel/page attributes. The
one which you implemented is obsolete and exists to deal with old kernel
versions only. We will remove it in the next releases. So please use the
capability output at [0] for channel dump.
(There I did no format string fail. :-))

mhh, this looks wrong right now. The format string describes only one
argument, but we have "page, channel" there. There must be page only.
Can you send a fix for this?
