There is currently no code in hostapd to select a channel automatically.
However, there is some code for IEEE 802.11n co-existence requirements
that involves scanning channels and similar mechanism (ideally, with bit
more channel survey features like measuring channel use and noise level)
could be added to pick the best channel during startup.
