How does setting the cwmax to a 2^x-1 alleviate the problem of 
misbehavior? Any ways a node which is set to use a cwmax of 31 will get 
far more access to the channel than a node with a cwmax of 1023, bringing 
in unacceptable unfairness? To be fair, all nodes sharing an access point 
should use the same cwmin, cwmax and a similar random number generator to 
choose a value between [cwmin, cwmax]?

Thanks!
