0x000b:0x7100 is "SonicWALL Long Range Wireless Card", whereas
0x000b:0x7110 is D-Link DWL-650 Rev P.  Both should be supported.

I think 0x000b:0x7110 should be added to hostap_cs.c.  It is present in
hostap_cs.conf distributed with hostap-0.4.9, but it was lost during
conversion to the embedded PCMCIA IDs.  The ID is also present in
wlan-ng.conf distributed with linux-wlan-ng, which further confirms that
the card uses a compatible Prism chipset.

And while at that, I don't think D-Link DWL-650 Rev P would actually
work in the PLX adapter (the card is 3.3V, the adapter is 5V), but it's
a separate question.
