wlan-ng has never been fully hooked into the kernel interface. while 
it offers some advantages over the prism drivers distributed with 
the linux kernel. However these advantages do not and never have
included correct integration with APM, and hotplug/autoconfig.
<p>
As alpha quality software this is outside of the scope of lunar
to solve. linux-wlan-ng comes with its own utilities which can
be used to configure prism cards, Google will find examples.
