  You don't need to use them all.

  IIRC, it should create two descriptors.

  Which version are you using?  For a lot of the weirder WiMAX stuff,
you'll need to use the "master" branch.

  No idea.  The WiMAX specs are thousands of pages long.  It's a miracle
it works at all.

  If that works... do it.  Note that you *can* use a non-packet attribute.

  e.g. Tmp-String-0 += "blah"

  It doesn't have to be a "real" attribute.
