For 700/800/900 Mhz at86rf212 it depends on which band the transceiver operates and the available tx_power settings. When I try to implement it, then I need to know the country/band laws what's the min and max tx_power db values? Does something like this exists? Is s8 as datatype really enough to support all available tx_power settings? -> (not because I also saw some floating point tx_power settings, but then we simple doesn't provide them). I will try to introduce something which supports the at86rf2xx transceiver values. We can still change the interface again later if it doesn't fit, but then everybody will hate us. :-) - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
