Intersil and Prism are the same thing.  Prism 2, 2.5 and 3 cards have
Intersil firmware.  There are some cards based on prism chipsets that
have Symbol firmware, but those are rare.  The wavelan/lucent/orinoco
firmware doesn't support a hostap mode, but there are add-ins that
give ap functionality.

BTW, Intersil has a new Prism GT chipset for b/g cards.  No data has
been released on this chipset yet.
