Any idea why this isn't working?

Which version of wireless-tools?
Why don't you use modern iw?
Do you know the right incantation for 'iw'? From it's help, it seems
this should work, but it throws an error. I haven't dug into the
code to figure out why...
[root@ct523-9292 lanforge]# iw dev wlan0 set txpower 10
Invalid parameter: 10
[root@ct523-9292 lanforge]# iwconfig --version
iwconfig Wireless-Tools version 29
Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v22.
Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.
sta211 Recommend Wireless Extension v21 or later,
Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.

Thanks,
