indicates whether the STA supports WME. Only valid during AP-mode.
bitmap of queues configured for uapsd. Only valid if wme is supported.
max Service Period. Only valid if wme is supported.
data area for driver use, will always be aligned to sizeof(void *), size is determined in hw information.
A station table entry represents a station we are possibly
communicating with. Since stations are RCU-managed in
mac80211, any ieee80211_sta pointer you get access to must
either be protected by rcu_read_lock explicitly or implicitly,
or you must take good care to not use such a pointer after a
call to your sta_remove callback that removed it.
