[ath9k-devel] txpower on/off and current draw

[Harsha Chenji]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if "iwconfig txpower off" works with ath9k? In the 
sense that does the current drawn by the device visibly drop and the 
radio turns itself off? I have seen this happen on b43 based broadcom 
devices (linksys wrt54g) where the current drops by 10s of mA, but I am 
trying to get this to work on a netgear wndr3700v1 which uses ath9k.

I did try looking through wireless-tools source and the ath9k driver 
source, but am helpless.
