If that's how you add "Prism Nitro" support then yes, that
would be a proper place to put it to start it @ init time.=20

Questions:

0. what is "prism nitro" ?
1. what's initial value are you using for init_burst and why?
2. what is the units of DOT11_OID_MAXFRAMEBURST?
3. why are you setting the profile afterwards?
4. was this a feature available for all versions of the firmware?
5. is frameburst just an 802.11g feature? Ie, if set would a STA ASSOC well
with 802.11b APs, and if set on the AP would it allow for non "frame
burst" capable STAs to ASSOC?

Yes.
