Hi,

I'm not clear on why this was a "complex wishlist".  Also, I'm unsure
why this would become a kernel wishlist.

The txpower directive is something that is already supported in Ubuntu
Dapper's default networking infrastructure.  I was just submitting a
request that it be supported using network-manager, as well.

Here's the rationale:

If i'm not using network-manager, I can put the following directive in
my interfaces file under the eth1 stanza:
wireless-txpower 25mw
This has the effect of ratcheting eth1's power down to 25% of its max of 100mw.

In order to use network-manager, I have to comment or remove all lines
pertaining to eth1, in order for network-manager to control eth1.
Currently, I know of no way to tell network-manager to set iwconfig
options.

I may have not worded the original request clearly.  If that is the
case I'll gladly reword and resubmit.

Please let me know if I can clarify anything.

Thanks
Zach C.
