I'd recommend sticking to 11a "indoor channels" 36, 38, 40, 42, 44,
and 48, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.
In most countries, channel 50 and above ("outdoor channels") require DFS
support for proper operation, which OpenBSD doesn't provide.
Many client devices won't support any of the "outdoor" channels.

Which channel does the other os use?
