The command:

# iwpriv wlan0 readmif 62

should return a value in the 0..255 range, with 127 being the minimum and 128 the
maximum power. Similarly, "iwpriv writemif 62 <value>" should set txpower to <value>.

        testing commands that allow low-level access to baseband processor
        configuration registers; do *NOT* use these, unless you are sure what
        you are doing; these do not have error checking and it may be
        possible to cause physical damage to your equipment by setting invalid
        values
