 you need STAID 1.7.4 ...

 Check your version with the following command:
 -------------
 # hostap_diag wlan0
 Host AP driver diagnostics information for 'wlan0'

 NICID: id=0x8013 v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) Mini-PCI (SST parallel flash))
 PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
 STAID: id=0x001f v1.7.4 (station firmware)
 #
 -------------
 If you version is <1.7.4 update with the firmware from
