Do you have a wireless router or an Access Point that you use your
realtek card to associate with? If so, there might be a feature in
your router's menu that will allow you to enable or disable
autoscanning of less used channels. I am unfamiliar with your Realtek
card. If it is a super-g card (108mbps), then it will more than likely
default to channel 6 if super-g is enabled. Still, that will depend on
the settings of your wireless router / AP.
