If this is the problem, theres another possibility:

at bottom of /etc/pcmcia/config, you should find following:

    # Include configuration files for add-on drivers
    source ./*.conf

which should find hostap_cs.conf (in same directory)

in there, you *should* find something that matches your card

[root at harpo boot]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "D", "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card", "Version 01.02", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
[root at harpo boot]# cardctl info
PRODID_1="D"
PRODID_2="Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card"
PRODID_3="Version 01.02"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6


since youre not getting hostap to see the card, one of these steps isnt 
happening.
which one is it ?
