is control of wireless NIC tx power possible?
hello everyone
I would like to ask if there is a way to control the transmission power of my wireless network card?? I am using Intel 5100 agn with the iwlagn driver. |
Do you want more power or less? I think you can reduce power but raising it may be difficult.

I tried the iwconfig txpower command and it works fine for my wnic.. now I will have to test it on an ad hoc network and see how it behaves. do you know if changing the tx power works for all wireless cards? |
Hi,
Not all cards will support the function. Note the excerpt form 'man iwconfig; Quote:
