Comment (by dcbw):

 Fixed in the driver, libertas-2.6 commit
 5aac0aaf7c96abdbb7f42b2d327b8cce8468afec

 It was an ordering problem.  Because the channel change code wasn't in the
 deferred association codepaths, setting channel _before_ setting adhoc
 mode would fail.  The driver didn't allow changing the channel in
 infrastructure mode, and would return -EOPNOTSUPP if you tried.

 Also, the default adhoc channel is 6 so fi the channel change operation
 fails it would logically come up in that channel.  That's also been
 changed, the driver will now let the card come up in whatever channel it
 happens to come up in.  Not sure if that will be a problem, but if it is,
 it's an easy fix.
