Re: wil6210: low level sector API

Thanks so much for your information. I tried to use this command and
set "triggers" and "long_term_enable" to 0. Actually, in the
definition of the triggers, there is no 0x00 but it could be set.
After calling this WMI command, it returned 0 which looks like
correct. But when I checked the station bf info, it still changed. I
am wondering whether I can do anything to verify that. Thank you.

Regards,
David
