[PATCH] ipw2200: SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl returns frequency rather than channel
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl fills the request structure's freq field by setting
the exponent to 0 and the mantissa to the current channel number. The
iwconfig tool works around this behaviour by looking up the frequency
from the channel table if a frequency below 1kHz is returned, other tools
(e.g. kwlaninfo) don't. According to the comment in the iwconfig source
the driver is supposed to return the frequency, not the channel number.
