Matthias May, thanks for the quick response. I was already aware that it's mBm, not dBm, and had previously tried 140, instead of 14 and lower before my initial e-mail. However, 1400, 14000, and 140000 all produce the same error message. Not to tangent off topic, but the way the article/man page reads, one should be able to adjust the txpower from the maximum the chipset could handle or maximum for the regulatory domain, whichever is lower, all the way down to just above 0, if not 0 itself.
