WRT54GL: setup suddenly won't let me change the wireless channel anymore

I have a Linksys WRT54GL version 1.1. The firmware is 4.30.11 (European version).
In the Basic Wireless Settings I can't change the Wireless Channel. It remains at channel 1, and I simply can't alter it.
This is strange, because in earlier firmware versions, I was able to change the channel without any problems at all. I would like to continue to use this firmware version. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Pjotr.

Not a browser thing; I tried Firefox, Epiphany and Konqueror. I found the solution, however!
Apparently a small bug in the firmware, but it can be circumvented. Changing wireless channels becomes impossible when in the Advanced Wireless Settings, SecureEasySetup is disabled.
So all you have to do to change wireless channels, is to enable SecureEasySetup. You have to keep it enabled, however: disabling it after a successful channel change, reverts the wireless channel to number 1 again and keeps it locked again.
For the time being (until Linksys fixes this bug), I will have to be satisfied with channel 1. Because I dislike the one-button-security thing SES, and I prefer to define my own security manually. Also I fear an accidental button-pressing.... :-)
Thanks anyway for your assistance.
Greetz, Pjotr.
