A question has been posed on the openSUSE wireless forum that I do not
know how to answer.
In a given neighborhood, there are 802.11g APs at roughly the same
strength on channels 1 and 10 (yes - 10). As this configuration ensures
that there are no clear channels, what would be the best choice? As I
see it, the options are ch 1 with interference across the full channel
width, ch 6 with interference only at the upper end, or ch 11. Which
would get the best throughput?
Thanks,
Larry

Depends on how busy those APs are :) I'd use a minstrel type algorithm
to test :P
