These patches implement a feature essential for long distance wireless links: setting ACK timeout and slot time. The API is based on a parameter called Coverage Class specified by the 802.11 standard.
The first two patches add support to the kernel 802.11 stack via a new nl80211 parameter and a mac80211 callback. Following two patches implement the callback in ath5k driver. Implementation in ath9k driver is planned. One additional patch outside the series adds the necessary userspace support to iw.
