I get some kind of a penalty on my tx-power when I compile openwrt with the "Force Atheros drivers to respect the user's regdomain settings" patch. How can I fix this?

Hardware: D-Link DIR-825
P/N: EIR825EEU....B2E
S/N: F3TG2A7000806

Software: Openwrt trunk r27245

This is the "iw list" and "iw reg get" output I get from the unpatched trunk firmware:

$ telnet 192.168.1.1
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
 === IMPORTANT ============================
  Use 'passwd' to set your login password
  this will disable telnet and enable SSH

I really need this working, if someone can help me solve this before I do myself, I'll donate 180 USD to Openwrt.

Reply here or email me at openwrttxpenalty@hmamail.com if you think you can help.

This is a school with 200 students, I really need this up and working before school starts in August.

I run into a similar problem using a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND

I am using a fresh compiled openWRT from trunk.

I am using. for testing this issue only CA as my country domain.

If I get it right, the router should use up to 27dbm

Seems to be described here to:

you could put a custom made 'regulatory.bin' file in //usr/lib/crda.
Just google on 'Override regulatory restrictions'

A custom made regulatory.bin won't do anything regarding the txpower penalty, whether it's used with respect user regdomain or not. In fact, it won't let you use channels above 11 without respect user regdomain set.

I've managed to get up to 30dBm, w/ respect user regdomain set, by playing with regd.c and some other files.

What files? And what changes you did? I'm stuck with 19 dBm, instead of 27 dBm

Also, what device version you have - NA, WW or EU? If you have NA version, could you give me backup of your caldata partition?

Hi , I have exactly the same problem - I'm using routerstation pro with two atheros minipci ( 2.4 + 5 GHz) and I'm stuck with only 15 dBm on both cards after compiling bacfire RC5 with "atheros respect user regdomain"...
Maybe someone could provide some clarity to this problem ?

Thanks,
R.

I wonder if you guys have solved this problem for the stable AA 12.09 release.

Any one has tried?

Maybe this could help?
https://github.com/bittorf/kalua/tree/m … ow_reghack

I tested it and patched the regulatory sucessfully.
After reboot, I did;

iw reg set 00
iw reg get

The output was:

country 00:
        (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 30)
        (5140 - 5860 @ 40), (N/A, 30)

However my router hardware is limited to 18dBm, but it may work for you

Hi, dabyd64,

Did you check the stock firmware of TP-Link of your router? the factory tx/rx power is 20dbm.

This is pretty old, but I don't like to leave threads without response.
My router then was a wr740 v4.2, which in factory firmware only allowed 18dBm, same with openwrt.
Later I got a v4.23, in factory was limited to 17dBm , and also was the same in openwrt.
So strange!
I ended hating that routers , so I bought a WDR4900...
