Thanks for clarification. I see your reasons and agree, that it's much "wanted" approach Ho ever, jacekowski's binary also allow us to use full 76-107,9 mhz range. Is there a way You can implement it using Your method?

If not, can we use your method + event.d script to fix power to 120 + jacekowski.s binary to get exact same result as with jacekowski.s binary, but with additional benefit of ioctls exposed for userland applications (i.e. for program/widget to dynamically switch power alongside with frequency etc.)?

---

On the other hand, I'm bumbing problems with (segfault related?) crashes via leafpad (or, as one user reported, fmms) "save as". As it was - IMO correctly - said before, userland apps should not be able to so easily crash whole system. It definitely never happened with kp47. People less clueless ( ) than me, do you have any ideas?
I don't see a reason why patched binary and this patch not to coexists. It will be unable to set power level, but it is aleady set by the script.

What could be done re user applications to be able to change power level is to remove lock "locking", so anyone to be able to unlock it and write the value there. But TBH don't see the point of having such functionality.

And I don't think frequency range is limited by driver.

I need some rest from compcache affair first, will look into segfault lately if it is still not fixed.


P.S. Why those capital Y's

EDIT: could someone with crashing leafpad post /dev/mtd2 here?
