I have a Prism2 PCI card that can do master mode, and so I had previously setup my computer to act as an access point for my laptop using the prism54 driver. I recently did an Ubuntu upgrade, and the kernel toggled over to the p54pci driver. I found that the p54pci driver does not work in master mode, and I don't know if even works in managed mode (I don't care, I have ethernet to my DSL modem). I had to revert back to prism54 which, I might add, works excellent for me.
