Hi

I'd suggest you to ask on hostap mailing list, because they
can know for sure that the hostap version inside newest
linuxAP (0.0.4) has support to your firmware image 1.7.1...

BTW, how you upgraded card firmware? if was using windows,
there is a registry entry that will make it behave as an
AP. that way you can test if the flash firmware upgrade
was successfull (just to be sure)

Cheers
