Hi mokba, have you tried editing the ath9k driver source code "max_power" property ?

ath9k/common-init.c

#define CHAN2G(_freq, _idx)  { \
	.band = IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ, \
	.center_freq = (_freq), \
	.hw_value = (_idx), \
	.max_power = 20, \
}

I got this quote from another forum

In Linux it is possible to bypass the region checks completely with software patches only. You'll need to patch both the CRDA daemon and the ath9k driver, most changes are in regd.c, regd.h and eeprom*.c. In your case it is easier because your domain is not a world roaming domain - the ****** drivers have special checks (and additional restrictions) for world domains.
