and, before I forget it (again), you can also remove the special prism54.org 
driver from wpa_supplicant. It's now supported through Linux' WEXT. (as of 
2.6.18-git15).

BTW, (do you remember the driver_madwifi.c bug in
set_sta_flags ?). I said, I have a patch for the hostap-daemon to get the 
prism54 card. I wanted to post a patch but unfortunatly,
it was too large. If you want it, ask maxi at daemonizer.de.

And something OT:
Are there any plans for a hostap-daemon driver/backend for WEXT?
