Too much magic. FWIW, we implemented something similar, currently with vendor commands, that simply allows to set the TX power in a more controlled fashion, i.e. allows setting TX power per band/channel range. For our device it's only 2.4 GHz vs. 5.2 GHz, but I can imagine that you might want to split it a bit further, so perhaps we need to advertise those ranges somehow. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
