Could anyone tell me how I could change the fuse bit, so that my ATmega162 uses 12 MHz external crystal.
Once, I made the changes in the AVR fuses wrong the AVR went dead.
That is why I need supervision of an expert.
Below is images from Datasheet

All you have to do is select one of the 8MHz external clocks SUT_CKSEL fuse depending on your external clock type (your datasheet explains how to select the setting depending on the clock type) and make sure to unselect the CKDIV8.
This is from Atmel Studio 6.1
