acxtool does seem to set the ssid and channel, though it still doesn't
seem to associate. Note that I am on -CURRENT.  ifconfig continues to
complain that channel is undefined regardless of what it is set to.

wombat% sudo acxtool acx0 -S "2HIP" -M managed -C 5
Setting ssid to 2HIP
Setting infrastructure ess/bss capability
Setting channel to 5  
wombat% ifconfig                                   
acx0: flags=8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
