Subject: [ath9k-devel] Enabling tx-power-per-vif in ath9k?
Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:28:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5135201D.6080905@candelatech.com> (raw)
It seems there is some mac80211 framework for handling per VIF tx-power
settings now, but from what I can tell, this is not supported in ath9k.
Any idea how feasible it is to do per-vif tx-power in ath9k? I think
it would come down to putting the desired tx-power into each packet
(as the VIF sends it towards the driver) and then changing the power
as packets were transmitted in the NIC...
The goal is to have multiple virtual APs, each with different tx-powers
in order to roughly affect rx-signal quality for the stations that
are scanning for APs...
Thanks,
Ben
