If the chip provides that granularity, the user should be able to access it. Fair, if you would be transmitting continuously that can have an effect. I've decided on adding the extra ioctl command. Something along the lines WLIOC_SET_POWER_FINE which takes 1/100. If people prefer to use this over the other, power to them. However, it might be possible for drivers to return an error if this precision is not implemented. This makes implementing this API easier without having to break existing applications. Which removes the breaking aspect and no need to immediately port everything. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
