	Hi,

	SoftMAC output the channel twice in the scan output. It should
display frequency and channel, but only once for each.
--------------------------------------------------------
          Cell 02 - Address: A2:00:04:XX:XX:XX
                    ESSID:"TheESSID"
                    Protocol:IEEE 802.11b
                    Mode:Ad-Hoc
->                  Channel:5
->                  Frequency:2.432 GHz (Channel 5)

The frequency output is needed by NetworkManager, which is why I added it. At that time, I thought 
that some tool or other might be scanning the output looking for "Channel:", not "Channel "; 
therefore I left both in. If we are sure that removing the channel-only line will not break 
something, I'll be happy to send your patch upstream.

Should fix NM, really, to deal with either channel or frequency and
handle each as appropriate.

	Well, I actually like forcing driver to use frequency, because
that's an absolute physical measure and contains more meaning.
