It would be much more useful if you mentioned where you looked for the
answers.  All you are asking is documented, but probably not in the right 
place if you couldn't find the answer.

Also, if you have the hardware it's more useful for others if you check
and report your problems if any.

The answer is yes to both questions.  Support for Lucent cards in HostAP
is very limited.  In particular, WEP and Managed mode are not supported.  
You are better off using hermesap if you need it.
