[ns] queuing of packets

[Bhaskar Anepu]

Bryan,
  Thanks for your response but there is one more thing
I want to know. When a node is sleeping, MAC is not
available for packet transmission and hence any packet
that is intended for transmission during this period
is supposed to be queued. But in mac-802_11.cc, the
"send" function has a comment that says

/* drop the packet if the node is in sleep mode
XXX sleep mode can't stop node from sending packets
*/

are we not suppsed to queue the packet instead of
dropping it?

Thanks,
Bhaskar
