So, just to ask the naive question, if you, say, turn on TPC, with:

$ sysctl -w hw.ath0.tpc=1

then you can turn the other knobs and have coarsed-grain (i.e., not  
at the packet-level) control over the power output of the device? And  
this currently works? What values should I feed to these sysctls if  
say I wanted to make my radio quieter in a lab space?
