Oh, if it helps you anything, it seems to be based on 802.11h, and
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless seems to indicate it's supported...
for some drivers only. Maybe. The information element number seems to be 0x20
(WLAN_EID_PWR_CONSTRAINT), and I can see it (undecoded) in iwlist:

   IE: Unknown: 200103

Which means length=1, turn down 3 dB from regulatory limits (which is
inferred from country, set in some other IE).
