Are there other sources of unresolved symbols?

How did you compile and install the Host AP driver (exact list of
commands)? Did that report any warnings or errors?

Which symbols are reported as unresolved? What is the exact command you
used when you got the error? Which hw model (pci/cs/plx) are you using?
If cs, you should not be loading the modules yourself. If pci/plx you
should be using modprobe to load the module so that all the dependencies
(hostap.o) gets loaded properly. hostap_crypt_wep.o is loaded only when
needed; or to be more exact, Host AP driver asks it to be loaded if your
kernel module loader is working correctly.
