Wi-Fi Properties Reference

Description

This document serves as a reference for various Wi-Fi-related properties that Kitsunping may interact with, modify, or monitor. It helps users and developers understand which properties are relevant to Wi-Fi performance.

Some properties are straightforward to use, while others require specific vendor/kernel conditions to have any effect.

Note: This is a technical reference list, not a strict list of properties that are always changed by the module runtime.
