>From what I can tell, when hwsim sends frames to wmediumd using netlink sockets,
it does not include any channel/frequency information in the netlink packet.
Any reason not to add that?
Thanks,

I guess it wasn't needed, and when you "RX" a frame from netlink it uses
the current channel that the radio is tuned to.
That, however, will actually fail with the multi-channel option, so more
work is clearly needed for that.

I need this for my purposes, so I'll work on adding this sometime soonish
unless someone beats me to it.
