I guess this one won't work with p54. But have you ever see anyone (except the Intersil/Conexant people) with a 5Ghz prism card at all? It'll be interesting to get a eeprom dump from them... About WDS: is there anything special about WDS, that I should know? Since, I thought it's entirely done by mac80211 by now? About IBSS: yes, it is kind of working...

Can you perhaps split the big patch up into a few series? that'll be about 3 or 4 parts... tomorrow! I have to figure out how I can split up the _big_ one.
