Subject: ath5k, too high output power?
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:59:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200910270259.09787.denys@visp.net.lb> (raw)

I have laptop with ath5k card, and just tried to run it with ath5k driver.
I notice strange thing:

lappi ~ # iw phy phy0 info
Wiphy phy0
        Band 1:
                Frequencies:
                        * 2412 MHz [1] (20.0 dBm)
                        * 2417 MHz [2] (20.0 dBm)
                        * 2422 MHz [3] (20.0 dBm)

I guess it is too high. I am not sure it is actual value, but if it is right 
and actual value, then i am exceeding local regulations.

I have simple spectrum analyzer (spectran), and i can try to test actual 
output power if required.

Another thing, is it possible to change antenna output?
