I have played with the bitrate_ variable and noticed a decreased number of 
collisions when the bitrate_ was increased.
You can also see in ~ns/wireless-phy.cc that the variable is used when packet 
transmission times are calculated.
This insinuates that the variable should have at least some affect.
