Yeah it seems like it would be pretty easy to add that on top of this change, although I don't really see us actually using it. I can add it, but my only concern is I would not test it up to the same level I tested iftype/ciphers. Maybe this is also because I am not entirely sure what num_different_channels is doing. Is this only relevant when multiple interfaces exist on a radio? Like setting how many channels can be use simultaneously? > > johannes >
