System: NetBSD zorkmid.mit.edu 1.5E NetBSD 1.5E (ZORKMID-$Revision: 1.2 $) #54: Fri Aug 18 01:53:49 EDT 2000 jhawk@zorkmid.mit.edu:/usr/local/netbsd-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZORKMID i386


>Description:
	wiconfig(8) states:

     -r RTS threshold
                 Set the RTS/CTS threshold for a given interface. This con-
                 trols the number of bytes used for the RTS/CTS handshake
                 boundary. The RTS threshold can be any value between 0 and
                 2047. The default is 2347.

Have a default outside the bounds doesn't make sense. Perhaps the
maximum is supposed to be 2347? [I think that's how the Lucent
documentation specifies, but am not sure.]

Frankly, the whole section isn't very clear, and it would be good
if more information as to what this threshold actually did were provided.
