According to the standard,the RTS threshold should apply to the PSDU, so the check should be moved to MacLow so that it compares the threshold against the total A-MPDU size. Furthermore, the description provided in the attribute should be adapted.

Note that the description for the fragmentation threshold attribute should specify that it does not apply to A-MPDU (but this is already OK with the current implementation).

I plan to deliver those changes in the short term since the fix is quite obvious and was already agreed upfront by Ghada.
