Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode: handles management frames for a station (STA). Relies on the MAC layer (Ieee80211Mac) for reception and transmission of frames.
This variant is a very simplistic: the AP address and channel is preconfigured, there is no scanning, authentication or association. Only data frames are understood or sent at any time.
This module never switches channels, that is, it will operate on the channel the physical layer is configured for (see channelNumber in Ieee80211Radio).
