Hi to all!

I am running 2 PCs running Red Hat 9 & Slackware 9.0

PC1
---
1.RH9
2.kernel-2.4.22
3.WE v15
4.wireless-tools-25

PC2
----
1.Slackware 9.0
2.kernel-2.4.22
3.WE v14
4.wireless-tools 25

There is no problem when running 'iwconfig wlan0
txpower 10' to set the tx-power.The problem  is that
when i run 'iwconfig wlan0' to view the values i've
set for the card, I cant seem to find the tx-power
value...this is with the PC1

[root at APITONG BridgeTesting]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"APITONG"

With PC2 there is no problem. I could view the value
for tx-power...is these because of the WE
version?!..Is there another command to view the value
for tx power...tnx in advance for your help...
