[ Upstream commit 0d45d3fe42efc76b6c4f5a62f8d110c7a2e6f83f ]
According to 802.11-2007 17.3.8.6 (slot time), the slot time should
be increased by 3 us * coverage class. Taking into account coverage
class in slot time configuration allows to increase by an order of
magnitude the throughput on a 4Km link in a noisy environment
