I'm looking for a nice way of storing info about current wireless channel.
The initial "channel" unsigned int isn't enough, we need to keep info about
hw_value, frequency (or frequencies), width, HT, power, extra flags (like _IR).
In other words I need info you can find in struct cfg80211_chan_def.
So my idea is to add pointer to such struct and then drop old parameters
(channel, channel_freq, channel_type, is_40mhz).
Is this OK? Could you review my changes, please?
