    91 <li>To make the API more uniform across the various

    93   FriisPropagationLossModel and TwoRayGroundPropagationLossModel
       
    94   classes have been changed to Set/GetFrequency, and now a Frequency
       
    95   attribute is exported which replaces the pre-existing Lambda
       
    96   attribute. Any previous user code setting a value for Lambda should
       
    97   be changed to set instead a value of Frequency = C / Lambda, with C
       
    98   = 299792458.0. </li>

   177 <li>DSR link layer notification has changed.  The model originally used 
       
   178 "TxErrHeader" in Ptr<WifiMac> to indicate the transmission
       
   179 error of a specific packet in link layer; however, it was not working
       
   180 correctly.  The model now uses a different path to implement
       
   181 the link layer notification mechanism; specifically, looking into the 
       
   182 trace file to find packet receive events.  If the model finds one 
       
   183 receive event for the data packet, it is used as the indicator for 
       
   184 successful data delivery.</li>
