[MLB-WIRELESS] 4 (almost) non-overlapping channels

I've found an interesting article about non-overlapping channels in 
802.11b/g

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,708876,00.asp

Conventional wisdom says that channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only 
non-overlapping channels in 802.11b/g.  This article claims that channels 1, 
4, 8 and 11 (and 13 or 14 where allowed) can be used with minimal or no 
interference issues.   The article mainly deals with APs, evenly spaced in 
an indoor environment.  It doesn't take into account a situation where you 
might have four high-powered APs on a single mast.

Also, using channels 4 and 8 in an environment where everyone else is using 
channel 6 might be a problem.
