right: in the DS Parameter Set. Thanks for pointing that
out.

So the STA picks the frequency based on the channel number
it sees in the beacon and not the frequency at which the
beacon was received? And the beacon is not required to 
maintain the mapping of channel-number to frequency when 
it is sent out? I mean a beacon sent at 2.437Ghz can have
a channel number of 11 inside it (instead of 6)?

Thanks,
