Yes.

I've found that too.  However, with power control of the prism cards,
I'm happier with them than the Heremes.  However, I've not yet
committed those changes....

The config that I sent out works for the point-to-point links that I
have in the village.  Since I'm not sure how you are getting into the
pseudo-access point mode, I'm not sure what to recommend.  I do know
that there are many bogus suggestions on the web using wicontrol to
setup things.  Without seeing exactly what you are doing, it is hard
to say why bad things are happening.
