Since my > RTSThreshold is undefined, I imagine all my data packets are 'long > packets'. If it's even peripherally related to the Atheros MAC terminology, then that's the number of RTS retries and then entire packet retries. Ie: * short would be "how many times to try sending an RTS, expecting to hear an CTS in response but not hearing it." * long would be "how many times to try sending the whole packet, expecting an ACK in response, but not hearing it."
