Heh, good question. I think it was probably copied from IBSS where you
can pick another channel? Doesn't make all that much sense for mesh I
guess, unless MBSS channel switch could cause us to use another channel?
But then presumably you should follow the basic rates from the STA
initiating the switch, or something, since mesh networks are only
compatible with the same basic rates, right?
