Did you tested the commands you posted to me? Anyway here they do nothing. I
cant see any changes in iwconfig nor in in iw.

iw reg get
country 00:
(2400 - 2494 @ 40), (N/A, 33)
(4910 - 5895 @ 40), (N/A, 33)

so after my regulatory domain I should be able to change the adapter settings.

I now have tested. My device is limited to 27 dBm, thus the limit in the txpower command is 2700, but one can reduce the power.

With your regulatory info, you should be able to get 3300, unless the rtl8192cu firmware has a limit to keep you from destroying the chip.

Perhaps you should ask Alfa about this issue.
