Yes, that is probably correct, but not what Intersil uses in their firmware documents. I have collected a list of all the NICIDs I have seen in various documents and all 800B .. 8015 are described as "PRISM II", but I would guess that they all are Prism2.5.

Current Host AP driver just reports NIC, PRI, and STA ids and versions. After getting next release out, I will move /proc/net/hostap/wlan0/rids to user space (ioctl for get_rid and set_rid) and write a program for showing more detailed information. Including list of NICIDs and dump BBP configuration etc. I don't think much of this info is needed in the driver, so keeping it in the user space program would be better.
