Comment (by jimis):
I verify this bug. I own two identical devices with 5211 chipset. I get
the same behaviour. In master mode the txpower is unconfigurable, however
in station mode /sometimes/ is is configurable but automatically reverts
to "off" after some minutes. Tampering with countrycode and regdomain
doesn't seem to help.
