I am using FreeBSD 7.0 and recently installed a Engines EPI-3601S card. The card has an Atheros chip with a 27dBm output power rating. I am using it as hostap. FreeBSD detects it fine, but the trouble is FreeBSD does not takes the power level up. The max i was able to set is was 16dBm. (ifconfig ath0 txpower xx). I tried it on linux with madwifi but same results, so i started having a few doubts with this card, a friend of mine suggested that i should try the router OS (www.mikrotik.com) i did, and it worked perfectly. can any one tell me why can't i change the power level ? (i did changed country codes, to no avail) i read some where it is the problem with the driver ? so is there any patch ? Ikram Pakistan.

The original post doesn't explain how mikrotik "worked perfectly" while freebsd did not. I have measured many high power cards with a power meter and SA under FreeBSD and have never seen a power cap other than that imposed by regulatory or vendor mis-claims.
