HostAP Drivers with non-Prism2

Hello Ian,
These cards are not command-compatible with Prism-II cards, and require a
seperate driver.
If your card uses and AMD firmware, you may need to download the legacy
driver from linux-wlan.com, otherwise you can use the 2MB driver we wrote
for Teletronics which is hosted on their site. The driver has Access Point
mode.
Thanks,
Tony Toole
