[Prism54-devel] Problems to connect to ALLNET 0172

Hello,

after checking the IRC I was send to this list.
I'm trying to get a Allnet 0172 working as an AP with limited success so 
far. I'm using the fli4l
package Debian based as far as I know Ver. 2.1.5

I'm using the current firmware 1.0.4.3 and the current prism54 driver 
1.0.2.2
The result of iwconfig and ifconfig looks normal to me but other cards 
can not connect, I have as
you can see no security enabled for the start, so this should not disturb.
But I do notice a completely different output from the firmware on my 
machine compared to what others
show e.g. in the bugzilla cases (#54?)

Is there a documentation somewhae of what should be stated or of what 
are the possible commands.
Who can give me a hint?
