Good morning, Jo-Philipp. Please see ticket <https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/9207>. We are not asking to override anything if I understand the matter correctly. We are asking that OpenWrt allow legal power limits for use where it is necessary. At the moment, IMHO, it does not, but like Dennis Miller at the end of a rant, "I could be wrong about that." respectfully submitted/ldv -- Larry Vaden, CoFounder Internet Texoma, Inc.
