I've had decent luck in my TP A31, running Debian Sid, with hostap:

me@~$ lspci | grep Prism
0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chi=
pset (rev 01)

me@~$ dpkg --list '*hostap*' | grep ii
ii  hostap-source             0.4.1-1           Host AP driver for Intersil=
 Prism2/2.5/3
ii  hostap-utils              0.4.0-1           Utility programs for Host A=
P driver for Inte
ii  hostapd                   0.5.0-1           user space IEEE 802.11 AP a=
nd IEEE 802.1X/WP

(And also hostap-modules-2.6.15-20060408, built from hostap-source)

All the usual qualifications apply.
