Adding this into the parse_tx_radiotap() is pretty trivial, I've added MCS and legacy bitrate, FEC, SGI and STBC controls already. I just don't quite know where to put transmit power. > However, not all hardware supports per-frame TX power control. Some > might, most will not.

I'm currently working with ath9k. It appears that it supports per-frame power control, although I'm still familiarizing myself. Where would I stick the transmit power control? In the ieee80211_tx_info->control somewhere, or maybe in the ieee80211_tx_info->rate_driver_data? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
