Then how can I enable it?

[root at localhost mkim]# /sbin/cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  no product info available
[root at localhost mkim]# /sbin/service pcmcia restart
Shutting down PCMCIA services: done.

in /var/log/messages:

[root at localhost mkim]# /sbin/lsmod | grep hostap
hostap                116425  0
ieee80211_crypt         6721  1 hostap

Actually, I installed 'hostapd-0.4.9-11.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm' with 2.6.17-fc4.
Then I command the following without changing anything in file hostapd.conf.
Could you tell me what's happening here? Thank you.

[root at localhost mkim]# hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX): No such device
hostap driver initialization failed.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
