Long Preamble

This option is to define the length of the sync field in an

802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short

preamble with 56 bit sync field instead of long preamble

with 128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b

wireless network devices only support long preamble.

Check it to use

if needed to communicate

with this kind of devices.
