Is there a way to set the tx-power over 20dbm on the adapter? I thought it is able to do 2w. There is no way for me to get it over 20 dbm. When trying to to set the adapter with "iwconfig wlan1 set txpower 30" it answers Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) : SET failed on device wlan1 ; Invalid argument. I think there has to be done some work in the code but where do I start? Thanks for all replys.
The WEXT interface is deprecated. It is there as a convenience, but it will not be extended. To change the power setting, you need to use the iw utility. The specific commands are:
iw dev <devname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>] or iw phy <phyname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>] The maximum power will be dependent on your regulatory domain setting.
