Hi,
  dev <devname> link
prints the SSID and frequency, when connected.
To figure out the channel however (if you don't
know it by heart), you need to use
  dev <devname> info
which will print the channel along with the
frequency (though not the current SSID).

With attached patch,
  dev <devname> link
prints the channel along with the frequency, e.g. as:
	freq: 2442
	channel: 7
.

I find it more convenient this way.

-- madman.
