Do you have a way of measuring the true configured power output? > /============== Per rate power calibration ===========\ > | Freq | 6-24Mbit/s | 36Mbit/s | 48Mbit/s | 54Mbit/s | > |======|============|==========|===========|==========| > | 2412 | 19.01 | 18.00 | 16.00 | 16.00 | > |======|============|==========|===========|==========| > | 2437 | 19.01 | 18.00 | 16.00 | 16.00 | > |======|============|==========|===========|==========| > | 2472 | 19.01 | 18.00 | 16.00 | 16.00 | > \=====================================================/ Well, the maximum TX power being programmed is 19, so is the NIC supposed to have a TX power offset? (ie configure 19dBm, get 26dBm?) Have you tried this under madwifi to see how it behaves?
