Hi Ghannay

That depends on which card you are using. At the driver level, there are
different ways to do it. For Cisco aironet cards, you could get it
from the ConfigRid structure. For Prism2 cards you could get it using
the call prism2_get_stats (older versions of the driver)

You could also use the iwconfig utility for Prism 2 based cards where as
for Cisco cards you can set it using
echo "XmitPower: "value" > /proc/drivers/aironet/"interface"/Config
