This patch adds support to set transmit power setting type and transmit power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION in order to facilitate adjusting the transmit power level of a station associated to the AP. The added attributes allow selection of automatic and limited transmit power level, with the level defined in mBm format.
