Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
My card behaviour very strange. Sometimes it shows Tx-Power 0 dBm,
sometimes 17 dBm, and sometimes off. But I saw very interesting thing. I
can change txpower if I down interface ath0 or wifi0 ''ifconfig ath0
down''. So, comand ''iwconfig ath0 txpower 10'' change value Tx-Power=10
dBm, but if I up interface ath0 again, Tx-Power return to 'off'. Nothing
change in power (I see power on Netstumbler program).
''dmesg'' command output:
