 * used for a transmission. See IEEE 802.11-2007 15.2.6 "Transmit PLCP",

 * and also 15.4.4.2 "PMD_SAP peer-to-peer service primitive

 * parameters".

 *

 * \note the above reference is valid for the DSSS PHY only (clause

 * 15). TXVECTOR is defined also for the other PHYs, however they

 * don't include the TXPWRLVL explicitly in the TXVECTOR. This is

 * somewhat strange, since all PHYs actually have a

 * PMD_TXPWRLVL.request primitive. We decide to include the power

 * level in WifiTxVector for all PHYs, since it serves better our

 * purposes, and furthermore it seems close to the way real devices

 * work (e.g., madwifi).
