Subject: [PATCH] iw: Add support for controlling tx power for per station
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 18:59:24 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1547731764-14037-1-git-send-email-bpothuno@codeaurora.org> (raw)
From: Ashok Raj Nagarajan <arnagara@codeaurora.org>
This patch allows userspace to set transmit power,
in mBm units, to a station associated to the AP.
To set a limit tx power of 2000 mBm:
iw wlan0 station set <mac-addr> txpwr limit 2000
To revert the user defined tx power for a station:
iw wlan0 station set <mac-addr> txpwr auto
