We are going deeply in offtopic here, so I'll be short.  I'm not an expert
in Zaurus.  I think you are making too many assumptions.  I have no idea
why it's OK that Zaurus freezes when starting the tcp/ip service.  HostAP
registers an interface that acts just like an ethernet interface (plus
wireless extensions).

I think you can do it and adjust /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng but I'm sure it's not
the right solution.  Wireless settings for HostAP should go to
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.  Leave all *wlan-ng* alone or remove it.

I'm sorry, I cannot give you any more help.  Please don't copy your
questions to me.  You may find some useful information here:
