Bug Description
Binary package hint: wireless-tools
error indicating invalid argument is received when attempting to set the channel to 12 or 13 even though these are legal channels for use in South Africa. these channels are desirable for the reason that a number of OSs limit access based on teh region settings of the computer and as a result these channels are usually low on noise and interference.
