Enables No-Acknowledgment operation in WMM, entrusting that

the WA840 and clients can share prioritization settings without

the need to transmit acknowledgement messages.
Disabling acknowledgement messages can free up wireless

network capacity, but can increase opportunities for errors if

strong wireless connections are not established between the

WA840 and all WMM-enabled clients.
