Can people share how they tune their waveLAN drivers?  I have played
with machdep.wl_xmit_delay (in sysctl) and find that with my AMD
K6/200MHz machine it is best at about 600-750 us.

However, with my point-point link (I am using two directional antennae
over a distance), I am dropping about 8-10% of packets.  This causes
erratic behavior, presumably because of TCP backoff.  What is the best
way to tune this so that you get optimal performance?  Any other tips?
