This manfid is in the driver already, and it also covers ZCOMAX XI-325HP
200mw cards, according to
http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/patches/hostap-driver-0.4.7.patch

This manfid is in the driver too.

Yes, that's needed.  I was thinking maybe we could have a macro to match
manfid and the third string.  0x0156, 0x0002 and "Version 01.02" only
appear for Prism based cards.

I think it would be better to omit the empty string.  It's mostly a
matter of taste, but if there are cards with the same ID except the
fourth string, they would be almost definitely compatible.

This entry shouldn't be needed because the manfid 0x02aa, 0x0002 is
already in the driver.

It shouldn't be needed (manfid 0xd601, 0x0005 is in the driver)

Same thing (0xd601, 0x0002)

Same thing (0xd601, 0x0010), according to
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14544

That's a good one.

Another useful entry, but please don't match the empty string.
