Subject: iw dev X survey dump output very different for ath5k and ath9k cards

Hello

I'm having "trouble" with output of iw (Debian Wheezy, Voyage-0.9.2)
iw version: 3.4-1
libiw30 version: 30~pre9-8

The output of iw dev X survey dump is very different for the
WLM54AGP23 card (ath5k) and WLM200NX (ath9k).
Is there any reason for ath9k to print the whole stuff?
Is there any other possibility to get frequency on ap mode?

Where is this handled?

Greetings

Beat
