 * Some Comments:
 *
 * 1) Segment Size is declared for completeness but not used  because it has
 *    to do more with the requirement of the specific hardware.
 *
 * 2) By default, Minstrel applies the multi-rate retry (the core of Minstrel
 *    algorithm). Otherwise, please use ConstantRateWifiManager instead.
