Optional channel number for the access point to operate on. Only the
2.4GHz-band channels are currently allowed.
Optional channel number for the access point to operate on. If omitted
the channel will be chosen automatically. Channels greater than or equal
to 36 will select the 5GHz band for the AP to operate on.
Note: Due to regulatory requirements the linux kernel does not allow or
strictly limits 5GHz use in AP mode while in world roaming. These
frequencies become available once the country is set, either via IWD's
main.conf option ``[General].Country`` (see ``man iwd.config``) or
externally (e.g. iw reg set <CC>). If you are having trouble using 5GHz
ensure the country is set, and that the desired frequency/channel is
unrestricted.
