I don't think ipw2100 is compatible with HostAP.  See this driver instead:
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/

Usually only the first error is signigicant.

The driver is compiled against kernel sources.  There is nothing specific
to Fedora in your problem.

The kernel is not configured.  Make sure you have the complete kernel
sources, find the .config file for your kernel, put it to the sources, run
"make oldconfig" and "make modules" in the kernel.  Then compile hostap.

If that doesn't work, install and compile another kernel.  This applies to
other drivers as well, not just to HostAP.
