I'm not sure about your problem, but this value for sensitivity makes me
think that you are using some old version of Wireless Tools.  Take version
26 and recompile it against the kernel you are using.

It seems to me that you are using a clone (Lucent of Symbol), not a real
Prism chipset.  Clones don't support master mode.  "cardctl ident"
should show the data necessary to identify your card.
