Thanks Jouni, Jason...

Jason:  ...had tried that already, its in /etc/modules.conf. doesnt make any
difference...

Jouni:  I think you are right.  But, Im a realtive newb to linux, and since
i use SuSE (which has all kinds of wizards and such that work so well) im
not familiar with ALL the little text files in etc that configure things...
Does anyone know, perhaps, which config files i need to modify to make
cardmanager load host_ap instead of prism2_cs?

Oh, and i do have the hostap_cs.conf updated to what my linksys card has
when you type 'cardctl ident', i have actually tried several different
incarnations of this...

Thanks
