number/frequency may be appended with attributes to clarify.

For example, if a device is capable of operating on channel 6
|
||||
with 802.11n and 802.11g then one can specify that g-only use
|
||||
should be used by specifying ``6:g''.
|
||||
should be used by specifying
|
||||
.Cm 6:g .
|
||||
Similarly the channel width can be specified by appending it
|
||||
with ``/''; e.g., ``6/40'' specifies a 40MHz wide channel,
|
||||
These attributes can be combined as in: ``6:ht/40''.
