You are now in hostap = AccessPoint mode (default mode), but no ssid 
set, you must set it via e.g. iwconfig. Do you want to be client or 
accesspoint? If you want to be client as default, you can put the 
following to /etc/modules.conf.

alias wlan0 hostap_pci
options hostap_pci iw_mode=2

otherwise you can just add the alias

alias wlan0 hostap_pci

I don't think they are errors but info texts.

The driver should do that when it get loaded. How do you removed it?

The other modules are depending on hostap_pci, so you can't remove it first.
