Keywords Value Description
LONGRETRYLIMIT 0 – 255 Optional – specifies the number of
times an unfragmented packet will
be retried before the packet is
dropped and a transmit error is
reported to driver (default is 16).
SHORTRETRYLIMIT 0 – 255 Optional – specifies the number of
times that a fragmented packet will
be retried to gain access before a
packet is dropped and a transmit
error is reported to the driver
(default is 16).
RTSTHRESHOLD 0 – 2312 Optional – specifies the minimum
frame size, in bytes, for which RTS/
CTS delivery will be used. Packets
longer than this value will be deliv-
ered using RTS/CTS handshaking
(default is 300).
TXMSDULIFETIME 0 – 0xFFFF Optional – specifies the maximum
time to attempt packet delivery
(default is 5,000 Kµsec
[5 seconds]).
RXMSDULIFETIME 0 – 0xFFFF Optional – specifies the maximum
time for receiving a fragmented
packet (default is 10,000 Kµsec
[10 seconds]).
TXPOWERLEVEL 0 – 100 Optional – selects the next highest
programmed power level for trans-
mit in mW.
RXDIVERSITY DEFAULT, ON,
RIGHT, LEFT
Optional – specifies the receive
diversity method to be used by the
PC Card (default is on).
