That's not emulation in the software, it's just similar approach as with sending fragmented frames - you need (more or less) precise timing there as well and many cards still want them enqueued one-by-one. The firmware takes care of the precise timing. The same could apply to RTS frames (i. e. the firmware recognize them and doesn't send them before it has the next frame ready).
