This patch allows userspace to set transmit power,
in mBm units, to a station associated to the AP.

To set a limit tx power of 2000 mBm:
iw wlan0 station set <mac-addr> txpwr limit 2000

I would prefer if this was *dBm*, rather than mBm, and be allowed to
take float values, i.e. this would become "limit 20".

Johannes,

Curiously asking, existing txpower set for vap/phy interface will in mBm from user space.
why would you suggesting dBm for per peer txpower set?

Existing designs :
root@OpenWrt:~# iw | grep power
        dev <devname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>]
        phy <phyname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>]

Regards,
Balaji.
