When the mac80211 channel tables were recently changed,
the power_level member was removed. As a result, the value
passed to b43legacy in conf->power_level became zero. This
value is transferred to phy->power_level and used in calculating
the desired TX power, which thus became zero. This patch does not
fix all the power problems with b43legacy, but it will be needed
anyway.
