+Description:
+ Interfaces for WiMedia Ultra Wideband Common Radio
+ Platform (UWB) radio controllers.
+
+ Familiarity with the ECMA-368 'High Rate Ultra
+ Wideband MAC and PHY Specification' is assumed.

+What: /sys/class/uwb_rc/beacon_timeout_ms
+Date: July 2008
+KernelVersion: 2.6.27
+Description:
+ If no beacons are received from a device for at least
+ this time, the device will be considered to have gone
+ and it will be removed. The default is 3 superframes
+ (~197 ms) as required by the specification.

+Description:
+ Write:
+
+ <channel> [<bpst offset>]
+
+ to start beaconing on a specific channel, or stop
+ beaconing if <channel> is -1. Valid channels depends
+ on the radio controller's supported band groups.
+
+ <bpst offset> may be used to try and join a specific
+ beacon group if more than one was found during a scan.

+ Write:
+
+ <channel> <type> [<bpst offset>]
+
+ to start (or stop) scanning on a channel. <type> is one of:
+ 0 - scan
+ 1 - scan outside BP
+ 2 - scan while inactive
+ 3 - scanning disabled
+ 4 - scan (with start time of <bpst offset>)

+ radio controller. A write will change the radio
+ controller's EUI-48 but only do so while the device is
+ not beaconing or scanning.
