Turning Tx Power off not working in client mode

[Ram Nayak]

"iwpriv wlan0 reset 3" disables the card and not the transmitter only.

Using "iwconfig wlan0 txpower off" the code uses Command Register 13 ( A/D 
Test Modes 2).

What I have noticed is that in master mode, it works and I do not see any 
beacons being transmitted but in station mode, I see the probe requests 
still being transmitted.

Any ideas?
