HostAP Drivers with non-Prism2

Hi,
I'm aware that only Prism2 supports host ap mode, however the documentation
says the following....
In addition to Intersil's Prism2/2.5 chipsets, this driver may partly
support other chipsets. As far as I know, other chipsets do not have
Host AP mode, so this is not supported, but managed mode (i.e., being
a station in a BSS) seems to work with Prism1 (e.g., Intel, 3Com, and
Symbol cards) and Lucent WaveLAN.
I have a Prism 1 card (Zoomair 4000) and for reasons of sanity I'd rather
like to use the same drivers as my Prism2 card. I know the old card won't
work in Host AP mode, but if I could get it to work in Ad-Hoc mode, that'd
be cool. How can I get the host_ap drivers to even 'partly' support the old
Prism1 card?
Relevant part of /var/log/syslog below.
