[PATCH] mac80211: Add support for setting TX power and radio status

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds support for disabling the radio and setting the TXpower
through wext.
This also fixes the prism TXpower ioctl (It always overwrote the TXpower
value in ieee80211_hw_config())
