Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: default to automatic power control
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:28:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240957698.593.14.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
In
commit 47afbaf5af9454a7a1a64591e20cbfcc27ca67a8
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

mac80211: correct wext transmit power handler
I fixed the wext handler, but forgot to make the default of the
user_power_level -1 (aka "auto"), so that now the transmit power
is always set to 0, causing associations to time out and similar
problems since we're transmitting with very little power. Correct
this by correcting the default user_power_level to -1.
