 and severity.

 This problem appears on an unreleased firmware version.  There was an
 internal register corruption that was causing a channel drift.  One way to
 confirm this is by looking at the PHY register.  When the wireless module
 is in channel 6, register 0x3a should read 0xdd.

 {{{
 # mount -t debugfs debugfs /mnt
 # cd /mnt/libertas_wireless/*/registers
 # echo "0x3a" > rdrf; cat rdrf
 0x5d            # invalid channel setting
 }}}

 The problem was resolved on firmware version 5.220.10p0

 Leaving this open until it is verified by the reporter.
