The channel can be set with standard WEXT commands and 'iwconfig'.  What
I'd do here is to set up an adhoc BSS where the 8686 is the only station
and then start pumping out packets of some type.  Flood pings perhaps.
You can get the device up on a channel by doing somethign like:

iwconfig eth1 mode adhoc essid foobar channel 6
<periodically run iwconfig and wait for the BSSID to become non-zero>

then start pumping the frames out.
