I have the latest version of inSSIDer. inSSIDer shows strange channel numbers for my AP. It shows 1+4294967293 for a Netgear AP WAC120 that is set for channel 1, fixed at 20Mhz for the 2.4Ghz radio. At the same time the graphing of this radio doesn't work right in the display in the lower left corner. What coudl cause inSSider show channel: 4294967293 ?

Sounds like a bug in inSSIDer, try asking them.
4294967293 = FFFFFFFD = -3
Channel 1 @ 40MHz would give you a centre channel of 3.
Edit: correction.
UPDATE: See posts 4 & 5. Looks like it thinks this is the upper channel @ 40MHz and is calculating the lower channel by subtracting 4.

It looks like inSSIDer is mistakenly detecting the AP as being the lower part of a 40MHz mode and then just blindly adding +4 to get the upper channel. Despite the fact that channel 15 doesn't exist.
What wireless NIC have you got?

Intel is one of those drivers that report odd things to InSSIDer...

Is it just me, but I've used many different Intel wireless network cards over the years and they have all had problems with their drivers. Intel seem incapable of writing software for their hardware. (And don't get me started on their graphics cards/drivers
)

Agreed - when they work, they work well...
