* Tx Commands & Responses:
*
+ * Driver must place each REPLY_TX command into one of the prioritized Tx
+ * queues in host DRAM, shared between driver and device. When the device's
+ * Tx scheduler and uCode are preparing to transmit, the device pulls the
+ * Tx command over the PCI bus via one of the device's Tx DMA channels,
+ * to fill an internal FIFO from which data will be transmitted.
+ *
+ * uCode handles all timing and protocol related to control frames
+ * (RTS/CTS/ACK), based on flags in the Tx command.
+ *
+ * uCode handles retrying Tx when an ACK is expected but not received.
+ * This includes trying lower data rates than the one requested in the Tx
+ * command, as set up by the REPLY_RATE_SCALE (for 3945) or
+ * REPLY_TX_LINK_QUALITY_CMD (4965).
+ *
+ * Driver sets up transmit power for various rates via REPLY_TX_PWR_TABLE_CMD.
+ * This command must be executed after every RXON command, before Tx can occur.
