wi hostap: no TODS in 4.10, but 5.3 works?

Hi all,

Is the wi driver in 4.10 up-to-date with the 5.3 driver? Can it be 
backported? I have an issue with the 4.10; 5.3 works:

My D-Link 650 802.11b Intersil Prism 2.5 (primary 1.1.1, station 1.8.0) 
has always worked fine in hostap mode in my 4.10-p3 system (using a 
PLX-based PCMCIA-PCI bridge).

However, my new Dell Latitude has a Truemobile 1450 a/b/g wireless 
inside and cannot associate with the FreeBSD hostap system. With debug 
turned on, I see these messages on the BSD side:

wihap_data_input: no TODS src=00:90:4b:xx:xx:xx

Conversely, putting the Prism card in a FreeBSD 5.3 with exactly the same 
ifconfig parameters DOES work! The Dell can associate just fine.


Regards,

Sven
