Problems with Prism3 NIC 801D

[Martin Whitlock]

I have a new Prism3 SENAO (NL-2511 Mercury) card with NIC ID 801D and 
experience problems when modprobing cvs version of hostap. It starts 
with "<4>wlan0: hfa384x_cmd - timeout - reg=0xbe00" followed by other 
unsuccessful hfa382x commands... See attached log for more info. Any 
ideas? Has anything changed between NIC 801B and 801D messing things up 
for hostap?
