That's right.  But there's a catch.  If you raise the power, you may
violate the FCC regs on the frequency envelope your card needs to
radiate within.  It all depends on how good a job your manufacturer
did when they built the card, the antenna they used, etc.

Hack the driver to deal...  I have it on my list of things to do...
