[PATCH: iwn(4)] Fix channel switching in monitor mode

[Juergen Lock]

Hi!

 I just got a "Centrino Advanced-N 6230" half-size mini-pcie card
(using iwn6000g2bfw.ko firmware, my Dell Precision M4500 laptop
came with an unsupported Broadcom BCM4313:

	https://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/index.html?action=show_laptop_detail&laptop=13061

), and found channel switching didn't work in monitor mode, the
patch below seems to fix it - also at:

	http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/tmp/patch-iwn-channel-monitor.txt

 (I also applied the two patches from the `"Intel Centrino Advanced-N +
WiMAX 6250" doesn't work' thread tho I'm not 100% sure they are needed
for this nic:

and

)

 And here is the channel switching patch:
