This helps, thanks, but is the card actually transmitting with 10dBm if I set it? Or is the card using some standard power level..
I want to measure packet error rates between two stations in ad-hoc mode for several power levels. Therefore I need to know the exact power levels I can work with. Unfortunately I don't have access to a spectrum analyzer. Can someone help me with this?
