Hi to all

Is it possible to set the trasmission power to a value  lower than 1 mW
(0 dBm) ? If the answer is no, why.  Is there a  phyisical limit in the
chip or is just a driver limit?

I'm trying to simulate a large wireless mesh network using machines that
are close toghether, so now every machine has the complete "visibility"
of the network. My goal is to limit the visibility to only a subset of
nodes. I can not move the machines, and the drivers that I'm using are
ath5k.

Bye
