Hi Luiz, I am working on per packet power control and introduce therfore additional data structureswithin the mac80211 ieee80211_tx_info struct to have the power control algorith running in the mac layer, I had also to change the drivers in order to set the power level in the driver accordingly. In your case the global power level rather the a per paket level should be sufficent .. right ? Are you saying when you set the global power level via letlink/iw it is not repsected in the actual attenuation you see at the antenna ports ?
