I haven't looked into this in much detail.  I know nl80211 APIs do provide some 
information as to what interface combinations the hardware supports.  Not sure 
if/how it tells userspace about channel limitations.  If you know more, please 
share.

But yes, we probably would need to expose some of this info via D-Bus or teach 
AccessPoint.Start/StartProfile to only use the active STA channel if the 
hardware has such limitations.
