Actually this configures the FW for sending up an event once the
number of TX retries was exceeded. For now this event is masked out
and we just set to to a sane minimum (to prevent the FW from working
too hard sending these events).
Recently Johannes sent patches that allow this to be hooked up to
hostapd and actually disassociate the station -
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg59831.html

When this is implemented we should perhaps make this easily
configurable. For now conf.h sounds like a good place.

Arik
