[Madwifi-devel] Tx Power

[Eric R. <ejr...@wi...>]

Hello-
Could somebody please answer I quick question for me?

Is there a timeline for being able to change the transmit power with 
HAL?  I am in the process of doing some research and am using madwifi.  
According to Matt Foster's FAQ, the feature should be coming "soon:"

4.7. Is it possible to change the transmit power used by madwifi driven 
cards?

While there is preliminary support for this in the driver, the HAL 
doesn't support setting TX power at the moment. That is, you can set 
anything via "iwconfig ath0 txpower <value>", but it won't show any 
effect. This will change soon.

Thanks much,
Eric
