[Madwifi-users] Regarding txpower settings in madwifi

[Advait M. <adv...@gm...>]

I am computer science student at  IIT Bombay. As a part of our project
we are working on the transmit power control of madwifi driver.
We are right now working for the transmit power control of madwifi
drriver. We want to verify that if we set txpower to a particular
value does it actually sets to that value or not, using a power
spectrometer. We observed that it sets txpower 10 dBm more then what
we set (this was previously known). Moreover we are not able to
achieve transmit power in the range of 26-16dBm (for a card which has
max txpower of 26 dBm). If we set a value in between this it sets to
the MAX value of 26 dBm. Please note that we have modified the drivers
to get txpoer of 26 dBm i.e we have overcome country level restriction
on txpower setting. Do you have any experience in this regard.
