the old txpower 33 dBi trick doesn't work for Kali 2.0, please help

[John_Doe]

I've never had any trouble modifying a db.txt and doing the wireless-regdb/crda-1.1.3 thing to get 33 dBi. The problem might be the upgraded dependencies (and thus the removal of outdated ones which are needed), and I don't know how to pipe around the issues.
After googling for .deb packages and doing dpkg for a while I thought I had it licked, but I'm still stuck on 20 dBi. I got this far but it didn't "take":

root@dip:~/Desktop/crda-1.1.3 w redone makefile for Kali# make
GEN keys-gcrypt.c
Trusted pubkeys: pubkeys/linville.key.pub.pem pubkeys/root.key.pub.pem
CC reglib.o
CC crda.o
LD crda
CC intersect.o
CC print-regdom.o
LD intersect
CC regdbdump.o
LD regdbdump
CHK /lib/crda/regulatory.bin
root@dip:~/Desktop/crda-1.1.3 w redone makefile for Kali# make install
GZIP crda.8
GZIP regdbdump.8
INSTALL crda
INSTALL regdbdump
INSTALL 85-regulatory.rules
INSTALL crda.8.gz
INSTALL regdbdump.8.gz
root@dip:~/Desktop/crda-1.1.3 w redone makefile for Kali#

Here's an old tutorial which worked fine in Kali 1.1.0 but not in Kali 2:
null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/set-your-wi-fi-cards-tx-power-higher-than-30-dbm-0149606/

Would some smart and kind person please tell me how to get this done in 32 bit Kali 2.0?

FYI, I started over and reinstalled 32 bit Kali to the hard drive. Before getting updates iwconfig was showing 30 dBm, but after updating it was firmly stuck on 20 dBm for all cards.
BUT... this makes it run 30 dBm, which is a great improvement:

ifconfig wlan1 down
iw reg set GY
iwconfig wlan1 txpower 30
ifconfig wlan1 up

(country BO doesn't allow 30 anymore... ???)

To set GY at boot, add the following to etc/rc.local just above the text "exit 0":

iw reg set GY
iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30

Now, I'd really like to do the old regulatory.bin/.pem keys/crda hack like I used to... if someone figures out how to make that work in Kali 2, please let us all know!
