requested transmit power (in dBm)
The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms), see the powersave documentation below. This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.
the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for before checking the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this value will be only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware needs to check for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.
listen interval in units of beacon interval
Maximum number of transmissions for a “long” frame (a frame not RTS protected), called “dot11LongRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number of transmissions not the number of retries
Maximum number of transmissions for a “short” frame, called “dot11ShortRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number of transmissions not the number of retries
the channel to tune to
the channel (HT) type
