new prism firmware (1.7.4) breaks hostap mode...

I have a prism based card (from netgate) running in hostap mode.  I have
been using firmware 1.5.6, everything worked great.  I heard that the new
firmware supports disabling the public SSID broadcast similar to what the
linksys and d-link AP's can do.  I installed version 1.7.4 (on clients and
server) and the clients can no longer associate with the server.  The
clients can still associate to other AP's.

I can easily revert to the old firmware, so this is not a critical problem.
Is there anything I can do to help support this version of the firmware, or
should I just revert to the older version?

Thanks,

Ben
