No, not really. I was thinking of a central location where the
configuration of MAC and PHY related parameters is stored. To some
sense, this is possible with the attribute system, but it is not very
convenient, since parameters are distributed over a lot of classes. If
everything is within one class, which in turn is accessed by PHY and MAC
layer, it would be more convenient imho.
