Comment (by BrainSlayer):
the power setting is not broken. the ubiquiti card uses a internal not
visible extra amplifier. but this doesnt count for the madwifi hal. you
set your txpower as required. thats all. (16 dbm max internal settings for
ubiquiti XR cards)
the ubiquiti hal is different and does internally show out the real power
by adding the amplifier value which is about 10 dbm for XR cards.
so i assume. you cannot compare power settings with madwifi and the
standard hal with the ubiquiti hal. within my own products i use the new
madwifi hal since a long time and i didnt had any problems with output
power. we always measured the correct value
