Is there a way to change the channel settings by using Tshark?

Unfortunately, there is currently no command-line option to set the 802.11 channel in TShark.

If anybody decides to add it, please use "-Q"; I have a Fiendish Plan to add libpcap/WinPcap APIs to set the channel, and to have Wireshark/ TShark/dumpcap/tcpdump/WinDump use "-Q" to specify the channel. (Most other options are in use in one or more of those programs.)
