This is now fixed on the master branch, also the branch "for-upstream" does a lot of cleanup I thought you may like before stuffing it into staging like removing all KERNEL_VERSION checks, all wireless extensions checks, some compile warnings, removal of compat, dos2unix, use utf-8, etc. Unfortunately this still requires a specific version of wpa_supplicant but it seems it works. Not sure what bars you have for staging at this point.
I was a bit disappointed to find binary-only firmware inside the driver (HalPlus/OTUS_FB50/{hpfwbu,hpfwuinit}.c which is downloaded into the device during startup (initially thought this to be a complete OpenSource driver :-(
Unless the attitude towards binary chunks inside the Linux kernel have changed, I guess these should be moved into userspace using the firmware_class driver to access it.
