try applying over the latest
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-1
0-03.tar.bz2

ideally these patches are based on wireless-testing tree and you goto apply
into it, and do kerenel/module compilation.

Dear Mr. Shafi,

I have tested the patch above on
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-1
0-03.tar.bz2 with the following results:

~/compat-wireless-2012-10-03# patch -p1 < ath9k_txpower.patch
patching file drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2432.
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c.rej
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line

I have also tried to test the patch with the latest compat-wireless source
found at:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-1
0-20.tar.bz2

I get the same error:

~/compat-wireless-2012-10-20# patch -p1 < ath9k_txpower.patch
patching file drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2432.
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c.rej
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line

Could you examine the attached patch file why it is comlaining twice about
"patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line" ?

Yours sincerelly,

Ambrus Oláh
