I'm here but am swamped with other work right that prevents me from working on this at the moment. What I'd suggest is try skipping DOT11_OID_PSM when in extended mode on the commit. I remember always seeing issues with setting this specific OID when in extended mode, I have a hunch this may be the issue. Also -- I think having both drivers is a good thing, they both do serve different purposes. Apparently going with a FullMAC design can save you some power so prism54 should be good for those purposes. We need to update this on the descriptions when we get a chance. Luis
