shpreamble 1|0
This command will enable (1) or disable (0) short preamble. Short preamble will disable the use of a barker
code at the start of the preamble. This command affects ALL VAPs connected to the same radio. This
command has a corresponding get command, and its default value is 0.

sleep 1|0
This test command will force a STA VAP into (1) or out of (0) sleep mode. This is useful only for station
mode. When coming out of sleep, a null data frame will be sent. This command has a corresponding get
command that returns the power management state (1 enabled 0 disabled). This has no default value.

uapsd 1|0
This command sets the corresponding bit in the capabilities field of the beacon and probe response messages.
This has no other effect. This command has a corresponding get command, and its default value is 0.

wds 1|0
This command enables (1) or disables (0) 4-address frame format for this VAP. Used for WDS configurations
(see section 3.5 for details). This command has a corresponding get command, and its default value is 0.

wdsdetect 1|0
Due to a hardware bug in early 11n chips, a workaround for WDS frames was implemented between Atheros
stations. For ar9000 series or later 802.11n products, this workaround is not required. This value enables (1) or
disables (0) the AR5416 workaround for WDS. When the workaround is enabled aggregation is not enabled for
the WDS link. This command has a corresponding get command, and its default value is 1.

stafwd
1|0
This command enables/disables station forwarding mode. In this mode, a client VAP will act as a “surrogate”
interface as an Ethernet device, using the MAC address of the surrogate as its own, allowing a non-WiFi device
to use a “dongle” to provide WiFi access without modification to the non-WiFi device. Setting to 1 will enable
this mode, where setting to 0 will disable this mode. Note that the proper wlanconfig command must be used to
set up the VAP in the first place. This command has a corresponding get command, and its default value is 0.
