From: Ben Greear <redacted> I have a netgear WNDR3700 that appears to have an off-by-four bug in how it fills out the hti->control_chan (I configure the AP to channel 11, it reports 15 as control_chan). Poke a message into the kernel logs to give users a clue as to why they are not getting the expected channel-type or rate.
