It was fixed in README.  Where did you get "install_pci" from?  It's
totally undocumented in version 0.2.1!  If you read old documentation and
use it to compile new driver, you shouldn't expect things to work right.
You can just as well run "make install_pci_please" and you'll get an error
too :-)

It's becoming a FAQ.  I answered a similar question yesterday:

Q: HostAP doesn't compile.  What should I do?
A: Read the README file (no, not the one what come with a year old
version).
