If a user or user-space script wants to always be able to initialize things to default values, it would be nice if it did not have to pay specific attention to whether the NIC supports STA_TX_PWR feature or not. Since a NIC that does not support this feature will always have sta TX power set to default by definition, that is why I think you should let the call succeed in that case. Thanks, Ben

NIC that doesn't support this feature will set the tx power to the station depending on the rate algorithm in place. So the same NIC and same station will have different txpower depending on the environment? On the other hand, how do we decide what constant (?) default value to be sent to userspace?

You use value '0' to mean set to default values, as far as I can tell. So, always let a user set the value to 0, regardless of whether STA_RX_PWR feature exists or not. If you are querying for a value to show user-space, return '0' in this case. If user tries to set the value to non-zero, then it should fail with EOPNOTSUPP in case STA_TX_PWR feature does not exist. Thanks, Ben
> You use value '0' to mean set to default values, as far as I can > tell. I think you're confusing the internal API and the userspace API - at a userspace level you have to set NL80211_ATTR_STA_TX_POWER_SETTING to NL80211_TX_POWER_AUTOMATIC to revert back to defaults, no? For perfect backwards compatibility we should ignore it if not supported, but that doesn't really make sense - I think we should reject it and handle errors elsewhere in the not supported case. johannes

This patch adds support to set transmit power setting type and transmit power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION in order to facilitate adjusting the transmit power level of a station associated to the AP. The added attributes allow selection of automatic and limited transmit power level, with the level defined in mBm format.
