Airport mW output? can it be changed?

liberty or death!
On my wife's Powerbook 333(bronze keyboard) I have a Cisco Aeronet 340 PCMCIA wireless card. It offers up to 100mW power input/output..anyhow..

What I want to know is there a way I can make a similar change on my built-in Airport card on my Ti PB 400? On the Cisco card it defaulted to 1mW..range sucked..so I upped it to 100mW..Now my wife can go all over our townhouse complex with a good signal. I read somewhere (lost the link promptly) that the Airport cards with Apple's software defaulted to only 20mW. I have searched all thoughout the System directory, but I can't find any files to edit to change that setting (unlike enabling Quartz Extreme on my PCI Radeon 7000 in my Yikes ! G4)

Anyone have ideas on how to accomplish this? I spent about 4 hours digging though my system directory and related files/directories. I found nothing that could be modified.

Thanks in advance to anyone who offers some useful info.

That is a very good question, and I'd love to know if it's possible as well. My AirPort range runs out just about 30 feet away from the pizza joint next door. And dammit, I want to be able to get a pizza and be online at the same time. :)

All I need is a few extra feet...
