Anyway, I've had better results with non-moveable channel assignments
than the allegedly automagic interference avoidance schemes.

Me too, but I think that's more a matter of wireless access points
having no idea what wireless clients are seeing, so lack critical info
on making a channel assignment. For example, the wireless access point
might see little or no interference on channel 6, but a remote wireless
client might see massive interference. What's needed is a way for the
wireless access point to obtain interference data from clients, but
that's outside the current spec.
