Channel 6 is in fact the only channel you can use turbo mode in 11g. 
However--as I've said many times--using turbo mode in 11g requires that 
the ap detect non-turbo stations in the vicinity and automatically drop 
out of turbo.  This switching back+forth between turbo and non-turbo 
operation is termed...dynamic turbo.  Note this is different 
from...static turbo...where the ap and station do not switch in+out of 
turbo operation.  There are other things to understand about turbo mode 
but for now you only need to know that the ath driver does not support 
dynamic turbo mode (in 11a or 11g) but does support static turbo mode 
(available only in 11a).  Hence if he wants to use turbo in 11g then he 
must use the ndis driver.
