Hello i have strange problem.
My hardware:
{{{

ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn 1467)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] enabled at IRQ 10
PCI: setting IRQ 10 as level-triggered
}}}
And when i try to change txpower on ath0 like:
{{{iwconfig ath0 txpower 19}}} I get:
{{{
iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"artcom2"
Mode:Master Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:80:48:7E:09:65

}}}
but if i do the same on second card :
{{{iwconfig ath1 txpower 19}}}
i get:
{{{
iwconfig ath1

And if i do the same think on third card:
{{{iwconfig ath2 txpower 19}}}
i get :
{{{
iwconfig ath2

ath1 is supporting all range of txpower from 0 to 23 dBm
but ath0 and ath2 not ....
All cards are the same hardware.
I try to change cards to second new but i have the same problem
{{{
ath0 max 17dBm
ath1 everything is ok
ath2 max 18dBm

ath0 unknown transmit-power information.
