There are definitely devices that can do the channel selection, in fact, I think most APs come with the feature. Certainly all the Apple devices do it, and if I recall it's a feature in DD-WRT and similar firmwares you can put on Linux based devices. Some of those might configure the power settings as well. -- Michael Weinberg President Personal Telco Project, Inc.
