Christian Lamparter now works on the mac80211 softmac driver (p54 in
wireless-dev) and Luis gave up on getting WPA to work on fullmac IIRC.
Easiest way to get WPA working right now is to run a softmac driver.

I'm here but am swamped with other work right that prevents me from
working on this at the moment. What I'd suggest is try skipping
DOT11_OID_PSM when in extended mode on the commit. I remember always
seeing issues with setting this specific OID when in extended mode, I
have a hunch this may be the issue.

Also -- I think having both drivers is a good thing, they both do
serve different purposes. Apparently going with a FullMAC design can
save you some power so prism54 should be good for those purposes. We
need to update this on the descriptions when we get a chance.
