I did 
1.copy hostap_cs.conf to /etc/pcmcia/.
2.copy hostap_cs.o to /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/
3.copy hostap_cs.o to /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/
4.appened /etc/modules.conf with alias wlan0 hostap_cs
5.created ifcfg-wlan0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ with user entered 
IP & Netmask
6.service pcmcia restart
7.service network rstart
8./sbin/modprobe -a hostap_cs

when the service network restart is done, it gives the following error.
Bringing up interface wlan0:Error for Wireless request "Set Failed" 
(8B2A): SET: failed on device wlan0: No Such Device.
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A):
SET: failed on device wlan0: No Such Device.
