It works , at least on iw 3.10. If you have debug enabled you can see the value changing. On a openwrt system root@RSPro2:/lib/wifi# iw dev adhoc0 set txpower fixed 900 root@RSPro2:/lib/wifi# cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev:adhoc0/txpower 9 root@RSPro2:/lib/wifi# iw dev adhoc0 set txpower fixed 1500 root@RSPro2:/lib/wifi# cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev:adhoc0/txpower 15 And the received power changes on the station confirming that is making effect.
