Johannes,

Curiously asking, existing txpower set for vap/phy interface will in mBm 
from user space.
why would you suggesting dBm for per peer txpower set?

Existing designs :
root@OpenWrt:~# iw | grep power
         dev <devname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>]
         phy <phyname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>]

Balaji.
