hostap driver hangs "hard"

Because prism2_read_pda() was always hanging, I did an experiment:

  static int prism2_hw_init2(struct net_device *dev, int initial)
  {
        struct hostap_interface *iface = dev->priv;
        local_info_t *local = iface->local;
        int i;

  printk("%s()\n", __FUNCTION__);
  #ifdef PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT
        kfree(local->pda);
  //HS    if (local->no_pri)
                local->pda = NULL;
  //HS    else
  //HS            local->pda = prism2_read_pda(dev);
  printk("%s: pda %p\n", __FUNCTION__, local->pda);
  #endif /* PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT */

after this, I got ONCE this output, which looked way better:

That was the first time the thingy didn't expose the hangup.

However, with a "grep . /proc/net/hostap/wlan0/*" I brought the driver into a 
hard hang again. The culprit was "aux_dump", where in 
prism2_download_aux_dump() the function prism2_enable_aux_port() was hanging.

After the next reboot (and after disabling the printk of hostap_tick_timer), 
the thingy couldn't complete prism2_hw_init2() correctly:

All of this is weird. I had cards in my device where I used the Agere Hermes1

cards.
