the AP code never worked. And the hostapd-ioctl interface was designed for prism2/2.5/3 cards, but not for "fullmac" prism54. Because the "fullmac" prism54 card does everything(mac-, key- and station-management) in the firmware and the hostapd_param struct does neither support the necessary mlme requests/responses (Authentication & Association frames) nor a param to handle the EAP filter for the stations. (I wrote a "patch" HostAPD support, but with it's own firmwareap_param struct and some other hacky things, but it works well. I can post a diff too, but "be" warned! ;) ) (BTW, hostapd's backend for prism54 uses a "proprietary" interface - PIMFOR -, which never made it into the kernel.)
