RST
Reset: Setting this bit to 1 forces the RTL8181 do the WLAN MAC reset. During reset
reset state, it will disable the transmitter and receiver, and reinitializes the FIFOs. The
values of WLAN_IDR and WLAN_MAR7 will have no changes. This bit is 1 during the
reset operation, and is cleared to 0 when the reset operation is complete.

RE
Receiver Enable: When set to 1, and the receive state machine is idle, the receive machine
becomes active. This bit will read back as 1 whenever the receive state machine is active.
After initial power- up, software must insure that the receiver has completely reset before
setting this bit.

TE
Transmitter Enable: When set to 1, and the transmit state machine is idle, the transmit state
machine becomes active. This bit will read back as 1 whenever the transmit state machine
is active. After initial power-up, software must insure that the transmitter has completely
reset before setting this bit.

Interrupt Mask Register (WLAN_IMR)
This register masks the interrupts that can be generated from the Interrupt Status Register. A hardware reset will clear all mask
bits. Setting a mask bit allows the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Status Register to cause an interrupt. The Interrupt Status
Register bits are always set to 1 if the condition is present, regardless of the state of the corresponding mask bit.
