There are no references to "pcmcia_cs" in the HostAP source.  "pcmcia-cs"
is always called "package", not "module" in Makefile.  I don't know how to
rephrase that comment to make it more clear.  It seems to me that you are
making assumptions based on something else, not on that comment, so fixing
it won't help you.  Try reading that text again.

orinoco_cs is bound to your card in /etc/pcmcia/config.  Once you run
"make install" in HostAP and restarts PCMCIA (or simply reboot), hostap_cs
should be used instead.

This means that you have kernel PCMCIA and don't need to compile against
pcmcia-cs package.  There is no "yenta_socket" module in pcmcia-cs.
