RE: How to change tx power for atheros devices?   
I may be wrong, but I was under the impression 
this is exactly why the Atheros driver is structured 
so awkwardly, with a binary, low-level HAL with an 
ever-changing API to the higher-level driver which 
interfaces to the os ... to stop people from changing
regulatory stuff like this.

However, do not despair - all is not lost.  You 
have the source to the HAL, correct?

Re: RE: How to change tx power for atheros devices?   
Yes, we are using NDA version of Atheros driver and we have source code of HAL with us.

BTW, I changed tpscale parameter using command "sysctl -w hw.ath0.tpscale=1" and maximum tx power settings for each 
rate(in dBm) have changed.I confirmed this using on diagnostic utility provided by Atheros.Is it ok to change the power 
settings in this way?
