TELEC Certification Tracking

[tcr]

Summary: We are trying to pass testing qualification for TELEC certification.

Similar to our FCC certification, we need to create a test that allows T2 to pass TELEC certification tests. The difference unique to the FCC certification is that this requires modulating the output power of the transmissions.

This cannot be done with traditional CLI tools in OpenWRT for our Mediatek chip, as it involves running in monitor mode and issuing packets received by no AP. As such, we've taken an approach that directly modifies chip-level registers in the hot path of packet sending, which allows us to simply swap out the driver for these tests to generate the correct result.

A similar approach is being pursued for transmission power, without success yet. See these notes for some context: https://gist.github.com/tcr/36cbec61bd8a52fd2094
