Hello, Freebsd-wireless.

  Is  it possible to implement automatic channel selection by AP, with
 ath driver?

  Some SOHO routers have such functionality.

  I mean, that  card  could  monitor  channels  activity  like  new
 "athsurvey" tool does, say, one per minute, and switch to channel
 which was least busy for, say, last 10 minutes. It should not switch
 more often tan same 10 minutes (all configurable) in any case.

  It seems, that in my environment, channels' occupation depends on
 time of day very much, and what is good for morning is not so good
 for night.
