You must have been mislead by somebody or by some document.  It's better
that you explain why you think so, so that the misleading document could
be fixed.  It's better to do it once than to explain the same thing over
and over again to different users.

hostap_plx is only for PLX and TMD adapters, not for Ricoh or any other
full-featured PCMCIA or CardBus adapter.

That should work now.  It didn't work because you had unresolved symbols.

It's described in README.  The module is called hostap_cs.  It should be
loaded by cardmgr, not manually.  "/etc/init.d/pcmcia start" should do the
right thing.
