It doesn't matter if I use ifconfig or wicontrol to change the channel, if the card sees an AP on another channel, that's where it's going. Why? If I tell it to be on channel 2, it should go to channel 2. If I look at wicontrol it tells me the "IBSS channel" is what I want, but if there's an AP on a nearby channel the "Current channel" will be the one with the AP on it. Am I missing something somewhere? Is something else supposed to be set? ifconfig wi0 channel 7 up That should change it to channel 7, right? As should: wicontrol -i wi0 -f 7 ifconfig wi0 still reports it as being on channel 2. The end result is to have two cards in a Soekris board, one acting as the client to another AP and the other in hostap mode on another channel. As it is now, the client card is locking into the hostap card.
