[MLB-WIRELESS] Having trouble setting Channels on Roamabouts in Linux RH 7.3

Have 3 cards in the Linux box want to keep 2 on the same channel (channel 5)
and 1 on other channel (channel 2)

I can set different frequency i.e. 2.422, 2.427 using iwconfig which is the
same as channel I suppose.

But if I try to use iwconfig to set the channel it does not work here is my
syntax

iwconfig eth3 channel 5

error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8b04) :
SET failed on device eth3: Operation was not supported


this happens on any card when I try to change the channel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mikel
