Please don't go changing the priority. Nothing about this bug is "major",
considering your card works, just doesn't have all the features you may want
(but it works).

One thing you can do is blacklist the prims2_pci driver, so that hostap gets
loaded instead.

As for the point of this bug, from what I understand the hostap driver is meant
mainly to use these cards in a Hosted Access Point mode. Pretty much, not what
99% of the people are going to use it for.

Personally I think that prism2 is the correct default. Maybe you can provide
information to the contrary.
