>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.
