Details - A nice feature for LEDE would be ability to limit what channels are used for when setting an interface up for "auto" channel selection.

For example, on 2.4 GHz, while channels 1-11 are often available, it's better to just use 1, 6, and 11. But for "auto" mode, the router will still sometimes pick one of the in between channels. If there was some sort of checklist where you could pick only those channels you want the algorithm to use, it would allow finer grained control over the process.

It would be trickier for the GHz band though, since there are often different power limits associated with the different bands.
