Looking at the 5GHz table I find it hard to know which of the channels are important to support. It is probably safe to get the tables from NetworkManager's util function. I will cook a patch for it.

Based on nm_utils_wifi_freq_to_channel from NM add a table to support a band (5GHz)

Jerry (or anyone else with 5GHz infrastructure) can you test the patch attached?

I tested this at the OLPC office. Seems to work well.
We are using XO-4 with the newer 5Ghz cards with some schools are only offering 5Ghz APs
