Thinkpad X30 Prism 2.5

Hi,

I try to get WPA with my thinkpad X30 to work.... lspci displays :
01:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)

so I think its a Prism 2.5 wlan chipset. udev automatically selected the orinoco driver so I disabled it in rc.conf becouse I found in the internet, that it doesn't support WPA.

MODULES=(!orinoco !orinoco_pci)

but if I try to start wpa with wpa_supplicant it says hostap doesn't support wpa... very strange ... are there anyone with a prism 2.5 ?

bash-3.2# wpa_supplicant -d -B -Dhostap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
