Have you tested that card with other drivers? I do not have any NICID
801D cards, so I have not tested this. 801D seems to have "small serial
flash". Do you know whether it is one of the Prism3 cards that do not
include STA firmware in flash? If yes, current Host AP driver does not
probably support it (firmware image should be downloaded during
initialization).

Do you know whether one could get such a card? Many Senao NL-2511 cards
seem to use Prism2.5(?) and different NICID..
