The orinoco driver supports prism and hermes cards. Correct. 
HostAP just supports prism cards.

The Dell TM1150 is a hermes based card. You would need to look at
HermesAP, if you wan't to use master mode with that card. HostAP is not
the solution.

If you however just want to have it to work use the orinoco or wvlan
drivers.
