Hi Dan, hi Simon,

I think, it's a pretty nice idea to remove th optionOnOff and replace it 
by bool.

<history>
In former times, the variables in the config struct had very different 
names - not containing "enable". Therefore optionOnOff was used to make 
absolutely clear (in user space), wheter something was switched on, or off.
Now the variable have nice names, so bool is fine, even better now :-)
</history>

I would suggest not to split the amp-functions but to rename them, to 
also contain an enable:
rf69_set_amp_X_enable()

To avoid misunderstandings maybe it is better to remove the enable from 
enable_address_filtering, since here we can't go with bool.

Thanks a lot for the ideas and improvements :-)

Marcus
