        DTIM stands for delivery traffic information message and refers to
        the number of beacons between DTIMS.  For instance, a DTIM period
        of 1 would indicate that every beacon should have a DTIM element.
        The default DTIM period value is 2.

        This flag is used in combination with powersave mode as follows:
        1) A client goes into powersave mode and notifies the router.
        2) While in powersave mode, the client turns off as much as possible;
           the AP is supposed to buffer unicast traffic.
        3) The client wakes up to receive beacons, which may include a DTIM
           notification.
        4) On receiving such a notification, the client should
           stay up to recieve the pending frames.
