IMO, people should reject irresponsible power hacks like these. There is really a lot at stake for the open-source community, which needs to build trust with the FCC and the 802.11 manufacturers by proving that they will not propagate device drivers that operate radios outside the legal power limits. It is hard enough to get 802.11 docs for open source, now; if the community's earns a reputation for sloppiness and recklessness, it will be even worse. (Sveasoft's firmware might not be open-source, but the above applies to closed-source 802.11 "mods," as well.)
