Question about auto select free channel !

[Franz Skale]

Hello,
I have a problem regarding channel select on hostap interfaces.
I habe an ISL PCMCIA Adapter flashed with the newest firmware 1.8.4 from
hostap.
All is working bur i takes a little interaction to bring up my WLAN.
When hostapd starts the default channel is 3.
But if a wlan sends already on channel 3 i cannot connect to my hostap
WLAN.
There's always a encrpytion error in my syslog.
If i set the channel to a free one (My client does a iwlist scanning)
the WLAN with hostap is working.
Now my question:
Is it possible that the hostapd scans the WLAN and selects a free
channel available ?
Is it possible with iwpriv ?
My client is a ipw200 on debian etch and kernel 2.6.13.1.

Thanks in advance
