Sigh, things still aren't right after I flashed my Netgear MA401.

Now when I insert it the hostap_cs driver fails to come up. I get in the log

wifi0: MAC port 0 enabling failed
kernel: wifi0: could not enable MAC port
kernel: hostap_cs: Initialization failed

dmesg shows

Switching back to the orinoco_cs driver and the card works first time.

What can I do to fix this?
