mac80211: correct wext transmit power handler
Wext makes no assumptions about the contents of data->txpower.fixed and data->txpower.value when data->txpower.disabled is set, so do not update the user-requested power level while disabling. Also, when wext configures a really _fixed_ power output [1], we should reject it instead of limiting it to the regulatory constraint. If the user wants to set a _limit_ [2] then we should honour that. [1] iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20dBm fixed [2] iwconfig wlan0 txpower 10dBm This fixes http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1942 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
