Check kernel log by running dmesg.  Try recompiling the driver.  Run

file /lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hostap.ko

and see the output.  It should be an ELF file.  Try the latest version of
module-init-tools.  Thy inserting the module by insmod:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hostap.ko

As the last resort, compile module-init-tools with debug information and
run it in the debugger.  Find where the error comes from.
