We do not check return value of il_commit_rxon(), except when creating interface. So this change might broke creating interface, what worked otherwise when il_set_tx_power() returned error. Stanislaw

There is one il_set_tx_power() call in this function without return value check. Print error message and return error code on failure just like the other il_set_tx_power() call.
