@satellite73 same for me -- I have to run the command sudo iwconfig wlp2s0 txpower 10dBm after each reboot.
I have not yet found a solution.

@jonpontet I am going to try this

to see if it will automatically run the command on reboot, which does not really address the problem, but will save some time

@jonpontet the above worked for me. In step #4 and #8 you must replace "xed" by "gedit" . I replaced "5" by "10" in step #5. Hope it works for you.

I got the same procedure to work for Kali Linux 2023.3 on a late 2013 MBP. The only difference is the adapter designation in Kali is simply wlan0. However, the procedure is solid and worked on the first attempt. Thanks for posting this!
