This read-only value is the name of the WSS software file loaded on the Base Station Unit (BSU); it returns an empty string when queried on a Subscriber Unit (SU), when the BSU is in point-to-point mode, or on a PacketWave 750, since the field doesn't apply in those cases. It tells an admin which wireless subsystem software image is active specifically on BSU hardware in a point-to-multipoint deployment. An admin polling this OID on an SU by mistake would correctly see an empty string rather than an error, since the field simply isn't meaningful for that device role.
