Ok, if You use hostAP you should have WiFi card that allows to run in AP 
mode - most of new cards have it. But when hostAP was written, only 
couple chipsets have ability to run in AP. If You cannot run on RT/RA 
link card with hostAP, there is some probability, that  this card is not 
supported with hostAP packege. I've having RT/RaLink card on PCMCIA but, 
this card can run in AP mode under windows only with WINDOWS DRIVERS. 
Simple: hostap is not packege for Your card.

PS: ndiswrapper allso don't work.
