Setting TX Power for Wifi

Is it possible to set tx power level for wifi from userspace using OE BSP?

I am using a Laird ST60-2230C SDIO Wifi Device.

hi justin,
which bsp version are you using exactly? Please fill also the hw detalis in the question (toradex module, carrier board, …)

thanks and best regards, Jaski

We are using Apalis-TK1_LXDE-Image_2.8b1.64-20171229.tar.bz2

You can use command line utility called iw, but especially with modern ac cards it’s better to leave tx power on auto.

Thanks, and sorry about that. “iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 1600” worked fine… I didn’t realize I could do this if iwconfig and iwlist weren’t set up to work…
