Name	Type	Description
EtherAppCli	simple module	A simple traffic generator for the Ethernet model and the 802.11 model, and generally for any L2 model that accepts Ieee80211Ctrl control info on the packets. It generates EtherAppReq packets. It should be connected directly to EtherLLC or a Ieee802NicXXX module.
