Thats because cardservices don't know the DEVICE hostap_cs

you are missing a line like:

device "hostap_cs"
    class "network" module "hostap_cs"

in your pcmcia-config files.
If your look at hostap_cs.conf file supplied with hostap, it is the 
first entry.

This entry defines the devices, which says: Iam a networkdevice, using 
host_cs.o.
The entry that you made tells the pcmcia subsystem, that your card is of 
that device.
