By Prism2 you are referring to the hostap-driver. I would say yes
that it is still supported, mainly because it was one of the first
wireless drivers to kick arse.
You may want to note that Prism2 is 802.11b.
I just found this note on http://w1.fi/
Note! Host AP driver was added into the main kernel tree in Linux
v2.6.14. The version in the kernel tree should be used instead of
this external hostap-driver package. The external releases are only
for older kernel versions and all the future development will be in
the main kernel tree.
I think your in luck.
Thanks I've done a bit of digging around forums/lists last night and
discovered Atheros chips support host AP as well. Ended up getting a
Netgear WG311 PCI card (802.11g) that uses a 5212 Atheros chip. $37
bucks sure beats buying a new WAP.

Ok i just found out that WG311v1 is supported by the madwifi driver but NOT v2
and v3. I just got a v3 :/ so I'm back to square 1. Seems I have to get myself
a WPN311 instead, which is definitely supported. Does anyone want a new 11g
card for that windoze box? :D
