ORBIT-USER: Transmit power control

[Somak Datta Gupta]

Thanks Max..

I thought this might work:

 
defNodes('sender', [1,2]) {|node|
node.image = nil
node.prototype("test:proto:sender", {
'destinationHost' => '192.168.1.1',
'packetSize' => 1024,
'rate' => 6000,
'protocol' => 'udp'
 })
             node.net.w0.tx_power="10"
             node.net.w0.mode = "master"
        }



But it gave me this warning:

WARN net/w0: Unrecognized path 'net/w0/tx_power='


I used 802.11a and was in sb2.
