So I am still scratching my head about this; I went to the doc you
gave me; the table describes the frequency ranges. Doesn't mention anything
about the FFT types, but I am guessing they are infered from the bandwidth?
(as in 10M bw takes a 1024 FFT?).

So, the fujitsu device is just told something like:

scan in Prof3.A_2.496 – 10 and return all the NAPs you find in there?

For this we might need to either add a call or set a caps field that says
"scan takes profiles" vs "scan takes channels".

Which information does it provide for each NAP? More over, we need to find
a lot of information about the NAPs to be able to authenticate (using 802.16e
capabilities) -- or we might need to do OMA-DM.
