Do I need a phy layer?

[rjmccabe3701]

In our use case we don't care about all the bells and whistles in the PHY layer. We are essentially using EMANE as the middlewear between our network application and our firmware emulation.

I tried a pull request where i exposed the components of the frameworkphy so we can tailor the PHY to suit our needs. I'm ok in abandoning these changes (I closed the PR). Looks like i could use an UNSTRUCTURED NEM? Is that recommended?
