Hi Ivan

Do you intend to suggest that I can call this function directly for
switching the frequency?? If so could you please explain as to what the
function does. You are setting the values for the variable, hard_reg and
channelSelect, but dont you need to set these values in the register so that
the hardware actually changes the channel?

 Also what is the definition for the function, sysUDelayFlash () since it is
not available in the madwifi code.

Thanks
Vishal
