Not funny.  Somebody could actually try it and potentially damage the card 
(although prism2_srec is fairly safe in that regard).  In case you were 
not joking, please check if NIC ID 0x8002 is supported by the firmwares on 
the command line before advising to others.

Please provide more context both for the old and for the new driver.  Why 
do you need "-i"?  Did you upgrade the kernel together with hostap by any 
chance?  What's the version of the kernel?  Just in case, give information 
about the card (whether it's PCMCIA or PCI) and about the machine (non-x86 
architectures may get less testing).
