If I remember well this is the feature to take in account if multiple 
interfaces in a router are interfering or not, as of today librerouter have 
multiple radios but we never got to the point to generate babel configuration 
that inform the routing daemon about the interfaces being interfering or not, 
it should be not that hard (just check WiFi channels used by the interfaces 
are far enough) but we never got there, probably because we never identified 
that as a bottleneck in our community networks.
