+Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: put current TX power in interface info
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Many drivers implement reading current TX power (using either cfg80211
+or ieee80211 op) but userspace can't get it using nl80211. Right now the
+only way to access it is to call some wext ioctl.
+Let's put TX power in interface info reply (callback is wdev specific)
+just like we do with current channel.
+To be consistent (e.g. NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY) let's use mBm as na unit.
