Sorry, been meaning to follow up on this some more, but other things keep
getting in the way.

What about "cardctl status"?

I can't pretend I fully grasp these things, but my understanding is that either
you use PCMCIA (old 16-bit cards), in which case there is no PCI involved, and
the driver is hostap_cs ... OR, you use CardBus (newer 32-bit cards), which is
handled by "hotplug" as a kind of emulated PCI, and the driver is hostap_pci.

In the former case, your /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf or similar should contain
the card in question, like here:
<http://www.cat.pdx.edu/~baera/redhat_hostap/hostap_cs.conf>
If this works, probably this should be fixed in the Ubuntu package, too. For
what it's worth, the hostap package I have (which I compiled from hostap-source,
if it matters) already contains this.

In the latter case, your /etc/network/interfaces will need to contain a
"mapping" stanza as specified in /usr/share/doc/hotplug/README.Debian (near the
end).
