Missing Option 'Transmit Power'? - TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 N900

cryptoluks

Hi,

My Problem:
-> missing option to change transmit power of wireless card in wireless interface options. (see attachment).
In the pfSense docs there is an option to change transmit power:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Wireless_Details

Already tried: manual changes to the card 'ifconfig' won't work either:


$ ifconfig ath0 list chan
ifconfig: unable to get channel information: Invalid argument

Wireless Card:
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 N900

System:
2.2.1-RELEASE (amd64)


ifconfig -v ath0
ath0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 2290
ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
nd6 options=21 <performnud,auto_linklocal>media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11ng <hostap>status: running</hostap></performnud,auto_linklocal></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Could the following notification/error be related to this issue?

I get the vga console output spammed in addition to thesys log with this notifications/errors:

That option is removed since it did not work anyway, plus people were trying to do retarded things with that.
