Can you elaborate on this? Keep in mind with atheros devices this
is allowing you to just comply further, you won't enable new channels.
Your best bet is to leave it as is anyway unless you know you shouldn't
be using a channel that your card is already programmed for and you want
to help compliance.

If your card is world roaming you can also just issue a scan to see
what APs are around. If an AP is found those channels will get lifted
the passive scan flag or no-ibss flag -- if, and only if the card is
world roaming.
