> For someone who is not a RF engineer, hopping might simply mean "an AP that has multiple radios that uses one to scan the 802.11 2.4Ghz space to see what channels have the least utilization, and then restarts the other radios on a that channel, possibly forcing all clients to lose their connection as if out-of-range and reconnecting again on the new channel as they find it".

Bingo, except add 5 GHz (and soon, 900 MHz), too.
