[PATCH] libertas: Improvements on automatic tx power control via SIOCSIWTXPOW.

Anna Neal anna at cozybit.com
Thu Sep 11 14:17:25 EDT 2008


iwconfig txpower can now be used to set tx power to fixed or auto. If set to
auto the default firmware settings are used.

The command CMD_802_11_PA_CFG is only sent to older firmware, as Dan Williams
noted the command was no longer supported in firmware V9+.
