Great news,

I have reviewed, cleaned up and committed Bell Kin's patches into CVS.
Prism54 AP WPA (Version 1) support and WDS support is now
complete. I've updated the README and there two new sections:

Access Point WPA support (NEW) (requires hostapd)
Access Point WDS Support (NEW)

I did not have time or a box available to test the code (even to
compile). Please help with this. Please read the documentation, and test. 
If you find something broken please e-mail prism54-devel and if possible 
send patches which fixes what's broken even if its documentation.

After this has been tested we then can send patches upstream to netdev
for kernel inclusion.

Please note that Prism54 client/STA suppport has been added but its not
yet working. We need help with this from experienced companies that have
used the FullMAC and enabled STA WPA support.

Left on our TODO list are:

* fix WPA STA support
* move to netif_msg, away from our nasty debug system

I say let's work hard on these two and push a new driver release.

Thanks once again to Bell Kin for from PEK Inc for his contributions.

	Luis
