are your wireless-tools( iwconfig, iwevent, iwlist...) up to date? they've to
be atleast Version 21!
but there's still something you can try:
go to drivers/net/wireless/prism54/isl_ioctl.c
and change in "prism54_set_auth_alg" function (somewhere at line 1040)
next to "if (flag & IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED) {"
authen = DOT11_AUTH_SK;
to
authen = DOT11_AUTH_BOTH;
recompile; test; report ;)

Do you get any fancy "mgt timeout ..." or something in dmesg, when the cards locks up?

can you please describe your setup? I tested WEP ("restricted") with a Netgear
WGT624 and a normal linux AP and haven't seen any problems so far.
for debugging:
dmesg & iwevent output would be nice...
but I'll accept a short "sniffer" extract too. ;)
(it would be really good, if you can provide a package dump form a working
setup with the old driver too!)

And the hostapd-ioctl interface was designed for prism2/2.5/3 cards, but not for "fullmac" prism54. Because the "fullmac" prism54 card does everything(mac-, key- and station-management) in the firmware and the hostapd_param struct does neither support the necessary mlme requests/responses (Authentication & Association frames) nor a param to handle the EAP filter for the stations. (I wrote a "patch" HostAPD support, but with it's own firmwareap_param struct and some other hacky things, but it works well. I can post a diff too, but "be" warned! ;) ) (BTW, hostapd's backend for prism54 uses a "proprietary" interface - PIMFOR -, which never made it into the kernel.)

And all "management" operation are wrapped into a simple unique 4-byte "Operation ID"... That's why the WEXT "would be better" for that thing...

[PATCH] wext
This patch (wext-patch) is a proposal. It adds two new defines for the SIOCSIWMLME to cover all kinds MLMEs (well, except REASSOC) through a ioctl. (it would be nice to have them, so that I can post the hostapd code for the prism54 card!)
