That wouldn't work:
wireless tools asks for actual popwer in dBms.
the driver does return it and wireless tools displays.
If you wanna display string value - you'll have to modify wireless
tools, or write your own wireless tools or a wrapper to current wireless
tools.

The only thing I can suggest (make patch): if the firware returns 127
(max possible valu it accepts, and the value is by default), so the
driver can return value "auto", instead of fixed 31dBm value.

And I don't know any other oid, that that holds actual output power
version.
The only suggestion is exteng get_txpower function to return auto, if
value is max (127, or 32dBm).
