    cannot set tx power to 600mW

    My pc is a Panasonic CF-20

    My card is : ENGENIUS EMP-8602+S 802.11a/b/g 600mW ( 28 dbm )

    I run Kubuntu 10.4

    iwconfig outputs:

    wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSIDff/any
    Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
    Retry long limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thrff
    Encryption keyff
    Power Managementff

    iwconfig wlan0 txpower 600mw
    Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

    i have tried:
    iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1
    it puts out : wlan0 no private ioctls.


    iwlist wlan0 txpower
    wlan0 unknown transmit-power information.

    Current Tx-Power=20 dBm (100 mW)
