Well it's been reported OpenWrt is running on wl-500g, don't know if the power setting is working tho. Don't know about Oleg's FW yet. BUT ... you know increasing the power is rarely the best solution, using better antennas instead (even the ones ou can build yourself ) will usually give you real improvements.
I know but default power is 9 mw i can speed up to 12mw but i need minimum 40 mw and i need some firmware to do this.
After running wl txpwr1 -m 150 -o in the console, the /usr/sbin/wl txpwr returns
pwr in mw 87
pwr in mw after override adj 87
150
Web interface still shows 12mw though.

In OpenWrt you can set the power output using the nvram variable "pa0maxpwr" ... the wl command for some reason did never do the trick (means no change in signal strength whatever value you set ).
