The WEXT interface is deprecated. It is there as a convenience, but it will not
be extended. To change the power setting, you need to use the iw utility. The
specific commands are:
iw dev <devname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>]
or
iw phy <phyname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>]
The maximum power will be dependent on your regulatory domain setting.
