Reduce the NF wait timeout. When doing heavy 11n RX loads, this can actually
interfere with traffic, as the NF load can take quite a while and poking the AGC every 10uS is just a bit silly. Instead, just leave the baseband NF calibration where it is and just read it back next time a longcal interval happens.
