The command you're looking for is iwlist. Eg:

Code:

% iwlist wlan0 channel

wlan0    24 channels in total; available frequencies :

          Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz

          Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz

          Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz

          Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz

          Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz

          Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz

          Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz

          Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz

          Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz

          Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz

          Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz

          Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz

          Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz

          Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz

          Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz

          Channel 52 : 5.26 GHz

          Channel 56 : 5.28 GHz

          Channel 60 : 5.3 GHz

          Channel 64 : 5.32 GHz

          Channel 149 : 5.745 GHz

          Channel 153 : 5.765 GHz

          Channel 157 : 5.785 GHz

          Channel 161 : 5.805 GHz

          Channel 165 : 5.825 GHz

          Current Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)

Looks like I'm using channel 6 too.
