[OpenWrt-Users] Linksys WRT54G (version 2) and transmit power output configuration

Hi all,
	I have an image I have used to run ChilliFire from.  It is blown onto a
Linksys WRT54G (version 2).  I have two questions that I would
appreciate some help with.

* How to change:
Could someone tell me what is the best way to increase of decrease the
output transmit power.  In a previous image (not OpenWRT; I think
Talisman?) there was an option in the GUI, but not in the OpenWRT image
I have used.  I think that I could use iwconfig, but I am unsure.


* Power measurements:
I think the value is in dB, whereas I have previously used a milliwatt
measurement.  I know that the maximum I can set the card to is 251 mW
but because I do not know what this translates to in decibels I fear I
could either overload the card, have no effect, or even reduce the o/p
to something silly such as 1mW.

Finally, how to I make this change persistent?

Regards, s.
