From c9f6a6567f3e8dd69dd3f80a67e73d7d10884bea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:04:19 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: make tx power config changes take effect immediatley Users wishing to tweak tx power want it to happen immediately, try to respect that. This was tested by Lorenzo by measuring the received signal strength from an AP with ath9k and the patch. Changing the tx power on the AP produced these results: 1) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20 ---> Rx power -37dbm 2) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 ---> Rx power -41dbm 3) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 10 ---> Rx power -45dbm 4) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 5 ---> Rx power -51dbm 5) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 0 ---> Rx power -37dbm The result with 0 is an anomoly and would need to be addressed through a separate patch.
