Well, it's not too strange that it has two places since there's the SIFS too which is needed for ACK/CTS timing, these packets aren't sent from the host so you can't have those timings in a per-packet descriptor. > This means that the device would be able to operate correctly for > 802.11B even with the 802.11G timing initialization.
