hostap: Confused regarding hostap

[Madhusudan Singh]

Hi
    Actually, I came close to these conclusions myself. I am still in 
the process of fixing up things (making PCMCIA config dance with 
hostap_cs has been a nightmare so far). I will hopefully soon have a 
working config - will post it both here as well as on my webpage.

Thanks again,

MS
