The external plugin scripts are more powerful, but I'd think more
difficult to use, especially if you are trying to easily
automate hundreds of virtual stations or if you have only
basic understanding of how wifi management logic works.

I think for my users, being able to do these delays, drops, and
corruptions will be sufficient.

The majority of the code is #ifdef'd out unless you specifically
enable testing code, so I think it is not too intrusive.  But
either way, thanks for taking time to comment on them.

Thanks,
Ben
