    Are you trying to setup an ad-hoc connection, or connecting to an accesspoint ?

    If you are connecting to an WiFi accespoint, the channel in use is controlled by the accespoint. That means you have to login to the accesspoints administrative interface to change the channel.
    The WiFi NIC (the atheros card) will use the channel of the accesspoint automatically, when you authenticate and connect with the accesspoint.
