This is going to be long. Here are some logs, starting with dmesg logs  
resulting from modprobe hostap_pci:

Here's the output from hostap_fw_load wlan0: (I did add -v to the  
prism2_srec commands in the process of trying to figure this out. Also, this is  a bit 
different then my original post, more details below.)

My original post was the result of running the script a second time. Here's  
the output of that with the -v info:

There are no dmesg entries produced for that.
