>I do not see why to buy a 400mW card and reduce to half the power….
Consider if you ran a hotspot in your
coffee shop… you wouldn’t want the signal to be strong enough for
the coffee shop down the street to be able to use your nice strong powerful
signal… Only enough power needed to cover your little area.
Or better example if you were deploying
several wireless APs to cover an area you may not want the strong signals from
one to cause noise on another wireless AP.

Output (mwatt) of a minipci wireless card
Hi,
I have the same mPCI card. Yes, as Scott said you can reduce the TX
(Transmission) power in the webgui, under " interfaces" when you
"assign" a new one (says OPT1) you can tune the TX power from 0 to 99
%. As you probably already know this card reach 400mW at 6Mb of transmission
(read spec ). I do not see why to buy a 400mW card and reduce to half the
power....Anyway it works fine.
Cheers
Giorgio

So if i buy this one:
http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/sc.8/category.19/it.A/id.386/.f
i would be able to reduce the TX power to around 200mwatt?
And is this done in a webinterface or do i need to do some 'dirty'
handwork?
