Are there other sources of unresolved symbols?

hostap_crypt_wep.o uses functions that are defined in hostap.o and it
cannot thus be loaded before hostap.o.

Assuming your module dependencies are configured properly, it should be
enough to run:

modprobe hostap_pci

and if you need to manually load WEP algorithm, you can also run

modprobe hostap_crypt_wep

If you want to use insmod, you will need to first load hostap.o and then
hostap_pci.o or hostap_crypt_wep.o (order of these two last ones does
not matter). In addition, Host AP driver requests hostap_crypt_wep.o
module automatically, so you should not even need to load it manually.
You can also setup /etc/modules.conf to automatically load hostap_pci
when you try to use wlan0 interface.
