The Prism54.org project seems have been dead for a while and it does not
look like this driver would ever be maintained again. Furthermore, it is
difficult to find a version that would work with the driver_prism54.c
wrapper and there is another driver for these card in the Linux kernel
tree.
The hostapd integration in driver_prism54.c is quite different from the
other driver wrappers and would require major effort to get it cleaned
up. Since there does not seem to be any real users for the cleaned up
version, there does not seem to be justification to spend this effort on
the wrapper. This old code is making it much more difficult to clean up
the driver interface and at this point, the best option seems to be to
remove the driver wrappers. Should someone really still need this, the
old code will continue to be available in hostapd 0.6.x.
This removes the hardcoded definition from Makefile and cleans up
source code by moving the mail HOSTAPD_DUMP_STATE blocks into separate
files to avoid conditional compilation within files.
MadWifi is unlikely to be in ../head relative to hostapd or
wpa_supplicant, as it would be inside the hostap git repository.
MadWifi sources are more likely to be in a directory called "madwifi"
and residing outside the hostap repository. Using "madwifi" also
demonstrates that the top-level madwifi directory is needed.
This adds WPS support for both hostapd and wpa_supplicant. Both programs
can be configured to act as WPS Enrollee and Registrar. Both PBC and PIN
methods are supported.
Currently, hostapd has more complete configuration option for WPS
parameters and wpa_supplicant configuration style will likely change in
the future. External Registrars are not yet supported in hostapd or
wpa_supplicant. While wpa_supplicant has initial support for acting as
an Registrar to configure an AP, this is still using number of hardcoded
parameters which will need to be made configurable for proper operation.

Attached are changes from Chris Zimmerman (cc'd) to allow drivers to handle
radius ACL's. The patch is against 0.5.10 but I suspect will also apply to
your latest code. These mods enable radius acl support in freebsd w/ my
vap code.
You may want to do the changes to ieee802_11_auth.c differently as they
currently require all participating drivers to work the same. You might be
able to check the return value from hostapd_set_radius_acl_auth and use
that to decide whether the alternate code should be run so you can have 1
driver using this stuff while the other does not.
(jm: Added without more dynamic check for now; in addition, none of the
current in-tree driver wrappers actually implement these handlers, so this
is in preparation for future changes)
