Gene, I did some Google searching, and it appears that prism54 also
requires AP_SCAN 2 rather than AP_SCAN 1 to work properly, so you are
probably being affected by the same issue.  I expanded the earlier patch
to fix prism54 in addition to ndiswrapper.  (Disregard the earlier
patch; this one includes its changes).

Here's how you can use the patch to generate a custom package (hopefully
I'm not leaving anything out):

- Download the patch to
/tmp/fix_hidden_networks_ndiswrapper_prism54.patch

- Make sure you have the packages for build-essential, devscripts, and quilt 
installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts quilt

- Download the source and update it to version 0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0:
cd /usr/local/src/
sudo apt-get source network-manager
cd network-manager-0.6.5/
sudo quilt push -a

- Apply the patch:
sudo quilt import /tmp/fix_hidden_networks_ndiswrapper_prism54.patch
sudo quilt push

- Change the version number of the package to distinguish it
sudo debchange --newversion=0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0custom0
(your editor will appear for you to modify the changelog)

- Build the new version
sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager
sudo debuild binary

- Update your packages
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i libnm-glib0_0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0custom0_i386.deb 
libnm-util0_0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0custom0_i386.deb 
network-manager_0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0custom0_i386.deb

Then see if it works...
