Not to mention that the interface bsd-airtools is expecting has changed. 
It seems that bsd-airtools needs attention but I hear the author no 
longer maintains it. We cannot be expected to change every app that used 
an old interface. There were some patches floating around a few weeks 
back that supposedly got the lucent (hermes chips) working, but prism 
support was not fixed (in my testing at the time). Since then I'm sure 
things have changed. ;)
