Hello,

I have a "Intel(R) Centrino(R) 1030 BGN" card. tx_power_device_lmt is 15
and I was wondering if the card could do more than that.

the card should not and will not do more than what required by
regulatory

I'm allowed to do 20dBm here and was wondering if I could make the card do
that.

the tx power in Intel WiFi device is regulated by uCode to make sure we
are within regulatory limits. What country you are in?

Thanks
Wey

I am also having the same issue with my Intel PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN. 
Here in Germany I'm allowed to use 20 dBm (in the 2.4 GHz band), but the 
card is limited to 15 dBm. So in some situations other cards are working 
fine (as they use 20 dBm) and the Intel can't establish a connection.
