Problem compiling hostap for a PCI card

[Madhusudan Singh]

Hi
    I am trying to set up at Access Point using a Netgear  MA311 PCI 
card. An attempt to compile fails spectacularly :

    The machine is a desktop machine. What is all this business about 
PCMCIA support ?

PS : I am now having doubts about whether MA311 is appropriate as an 
Access Point. I have found a few links on the web which state that it is 
so, but nothing in the accompanying documentation says that. I received 
the card earlier today, so I can return it for something else. My 
Netgear MA401 card on my laptop (which is going to be the client) works 
perfectly.
