Wasn't your first email bitching about how that it _wasn't_ in the setup 
program?  You're talking about a completely different issue, now.

The code's identical for all types of cards.  It'd be pretty dumb to have 
different functions to figure out which channel's next for different types of 
cards, now, wouldn't it?

Send in a patch, too, if you think something's broken.  I've already verified 
that things work as I would expect them to if you insist on having channel 
numbers that aren't numeric.  The ordering may be a bit weird, but that's 
because it's sorting strings, not numbers.
