option channel works exactly as advertised, I was trying to change it with iw without any luck. option txpower works properly, limits at 20dBm, which is correct for this hardware/reg domain. I need to play with the antenna options more to figure out which is which out of the three (I'm assuming it's a bitmask, 3 antennas, 7 options) With the power setting, if I have it set at 20dBm (the max), using my non-scientific testing with WiFi Analyser on my phone I read -45 to -50 dB at about 2 feet from the device. Comparing this to a couple of other Dlink devices running their OEM software, at the same distance my phone reads -25 to -30 dB. Is there an amplifier in the Buffalo device that my or may not be switched on? I'm guessing that the power limit in the eeprom is based on having the amplifier on. It just seems like a large power difference that I am "measuring". -Greg
