Reaver is not able to keep right channel on a newest build

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A few things to consider before submitting an issue:
There is a bug on a newest source. Reaver worked right before. But on a newest 
source Reaver changes channel every time when need to try new pin.

This is probably due to a low signal strength from the target AP. Prior to each 
pin attempt, Reaver checks to see if the AP has switched channels (some APs 
will do this periodically). If Reaver can't determine if the AP is on the same 
channel, it will start channel hopping until it finds the AP again.

If you know the AP's channel, you can disable this functionality by explicitly 
specifying the channel (-c 11).

Yes, I tried also this option and then reaper is answering only: Sending EAPOL 
START request.

I tested also with other modem with same results.

All versions before this (1.4) have worked well and I have got pin successfully 
so I think it must be bug in newest version.

When you tested previous versions, were all of your test conditions identical 
to what they are now? Same AP? Same location? Same signal strength? Same 
wireless card/driver? 

If you are on the correct channel and Reaver can't initiate an EAP session, it 
definitely sounds like connectivity problems. I have no issues running 1.4 
against any of my APs.

You're right! I installed everything again from the start point on totally same 
way but when I tested reaver again it works fully!!?!

I have no idea what gone wrong when I updated from v1.3 to 1.4.

Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for great tool also!
