Hello,
On June 14, I've sent a patch to ns-developers (subject: "Fix to
WirelessChannel handling of multiple interfaces") that fixes a problem
in WirelessChannel handling of multiple interfaces (or multiple
channels). I just had a look at the release candidate and the bugs are
still there.

Could you please incorporate (or at least review) the changes?
Cheers,
--Szymon
