But please, before you waste your time with _some_ fullmac anomalies,

get the last wireless-dev.git tree. 
There is a SOFTMAC driver for all prism54 chips now! 

You only need a firmware: 
http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-softmac/lmac_2.7.0.0.arm
(rename it to "isl3886" and put it in the right place).
