This patch makes hardware power control optional through a module parameter, which is disabled by default. Hardware power control is broken, so we will drive with software based power control. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@xxxxxxxxx>

-- John, please apply to wireless-dev. With this patch we come into the region where we might consider going into production with bcm43xx-mac80211. The mac80211 rc algorithm is able to auto-scale up to 54M on my 4306 and the 4318(!). So the major TX problems seem mostly gone with this. I am going to do more small patches that optimize software power adjustment and so on later. But the major stuff should be fixed.
I get auto-scaling to 54M on my 4311 as well. I agree that bcm43xx-mac80211 is now ready to start the process of getting it into mainstream in the 2.6.24 or -25 cycle. Any changes required by the reviewers will be mirrored in the bcm4301 code. It certainly looks as if we will be free of softmac very soon.
