fix: push_radio_channel uses 'wifi' (full restart) instead of 'wifi reload'

Browse Source 
'wifi reload' only reapplies the running config without physically
changing the channel on many ath9k/ath10k/mt76 hardware+driver
combinations. A full 'wifi' (down + up) cycle is required for channel
changes to take effect.

Also updated the test assertion accordingly.
