txpower blocked at 12dBm #3
Comments
TX power control is not implemented. Driver always returns a hardcoded value (12 dBm). |
@kcdtv why do you need to increase tx power ? is tx power normally not enough ? |
Txpower is blocked at 12dbm(16 mW) @mehmetgoksu awus036ach have 1600mW(32dbm) |
@cristi28 is it blocked after driver ? or it always 12 dbm ? |
Sorry guys, i couldn't answer before
Is there any plan to implement it? 😺 cat:
Nice! Even more than the 30dBm that shows up with
I don't want to use it at full power all time. |
This issue has a quite low priority. You may help if you check the power control in https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au project and/or https://github.com/gnab/rtl8821au.
Driver just returns 12. This value has no relations with driver internals, phy state etc. |
ı dont understand the value of 12 is stock or our driver affect it ? |
@ cristie: astsam told us that the value is "not real", it is just an hardcoded value that doesn't reflect the reality.
|
@kcdtv waiting yoyr resultss |
cristi_28 showed me this branch that seems to have power control: If we have a look closer to the branch we can see that it has two more folders than this one That all i could try yesterday... I will find sometime tonight to do more search. |
Did you test injection and aircrack module ? Are they working well without any bug? |
This questions are off topic, aren't they? |
Good day :) Astsam's drivers in managed mode work great. When select any channel in airodump-ng (-c)... I catch all channels.
Wash from Reaver packet write:
When use (-C) for skip bad fcs, RSSI not recognized
Reaver my and any stations with good signal not hack.
Bully not try to brute wps...
|
Good day too
They don't have power management neither. |
Unfortunately this driver (https://github.com/mgillespie/rtl8812au) has no power control too. |
Damned it! 😺 |
TX power should be setting and getting via ioctl: fg80211_rtw_set_txpower and cfg80211_rtw_get_txpower . In every driver i found in cfg80211_rtw_get_txpower next line |
Preliminary power control was implemented. Pull v4.3.21 branch, set tx power, and switch channel. Power setting will be applied on channel switch only. |
Wiphy phy0 I dont understand ı pull 4.3.21 and install but my iw list show 20 dbm in band1 ? why ?kcdv has 30 dbm? |
iw reg set GY |
@cristi28 now it works normally thanks |
Ignore the iw list output. Just set any tx power level (0..38). The driver does not obey CRDA TX power limits. To function properly with an increased power level dongle should be attached to USB 3.0 port or externally powered USB hub.
Fixed. |
i have the same problem :(( please i can't change the value of tx-power,pls ask me how you did this @kcdtv |
Add HT Greenfield & Kernel v4.14 support
Hi again!
I have a litlle issue with the Alfa AWUS036ACH which is realy reducing the performances of the device
Txpower is blocked at 12dbm and there is no way to rise this txpower.
As you can see on the folowing picture my AWUS036ACH (wlan2) stay at 12dBm while i can rise the power to 30dBm to my AWUS036H.
It is even under my laptop card (16dBm)
strange think is that the device shows 30dBm in both bands (it is erfectivly a high power device) as you can see from
ìw list
So it is not a problem with CRDA as my other Alfa is at 30dBm.
What could it be? What could I try?
Thanks again for your attention
