Default Power Levels.

Posted from the aircrack-ng WIKI:

Power Settings

The transmit power can be adjusted using:

Code:
 iwconfig wlan0 txpower <value of 0 to 5>
With 0 being the lowest and 5 being the highest transmit power. It is important to understand that the values are relative power values, not absolute. Meaning that they do not refer to dBm or mW values.

To view the current setting enter:

Code:
 iwlist wlan0 txpower
The system responds with the current setting:

Code:
 wlan0     unknown transmit-power information.
 
        Current Tx-Power=5 dBm        (3 mW)
You MUST ignore the dBm and mW labels. The value of “5” above is the actual value in the 0 to 5 range. Unfortunately due to driver constraints, the “dBm (3mW)” are also displayed but must be ignored.




For problems with Kismet:
