I use a similar product (Netgear MA111) which uses the same chipset
under Ubuntu.
I've not looked much into integrating it into the if(up|down) architecture,
and the way I usually do it is using a bunch of init scripts depending
on the network.
As far as hotplug goes, hotplug is only responsible for loading the
prism2_usb module, once that's done, hotplug's done its job.
This would be interesting to look at integrate starting the device
into hotplug, though, AFAIK, the wlan-ng stuff doesn't support setting
the ESSID to the beloved `any` setting, so we'd need to scan for ESSIDs
and pick one at random out of those available, or have a static set
ESSID.
An example init script:
#!/bin/bash
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=drahtlos authtype=opensystem
dhclient3 wlan0
Cheers,
-Chris.
