Sirs, Larry Finger referred me your email address can you address the question below please. I am looking at the code in the linux wireless driver and trying to determine if the maximum transmit power from a client is read from the 802.11d beacon field [the 802.11d triplet of start channel ,number of channels and txpower] or is it predetermined in the software based on the country code. linux-2.6.39.4\drivers\net\wireless\rtlwifi\rtl8192cu\rf.c My goal is from the beacons 802.11d to directly control the output transmit power of a client radio.

All of the Linux wireless drivers that use mac80211 get the maximum power from the regulatory information. To my knowledge, none of them use 802.11d beacons to further reduce the max power, but I am not an expert on mac80211. You should address that question to linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
