How to bind hostap_cs to my PCMCIA card ?

[chr.m at habmalnefrage.de]

I have installed hostap-driver-0.1.3 on a fresh Suse 9 Installation on my
laptop, but whenever I insert the PCMCIA card, it is bound to prism2_cs.
I use a ZyAIR B-101; "cardctl ident" recognized manfid: 0xd601, 0x0005.

Therefore I controlled the entries in /etc/pcmcia/config and in
/etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf.
In /etc/pcmcia/config was one Card description which binds the mentioned
manfid
to "orinoco_cs":


card "D-Link DCF660"
   manfid 0xd601, 0x0005
   bind "orinoco_cs"


In /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf also was a Card description entry
with this manfid, but bound to "hostap_cs":


card "Zcomax XI-325H 200mW"
#   version " ", "IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN/PC Card"
   manfid 0xd601, 0x0005
   bind "hostap_cs"


So I expected that all would be fine after deleting the unwanted entry in
etc/pcmcia/config, so that there remains only one Card description with the
desired
binding to hostap_cs in /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf.

But after restarting pcmcia the same behaviour occurs, i.e. cs automatically
loads prism2_cs, referring to a "D-Link DCF-660W  11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
which
is mentioned neither in /etc/pcmcia/config nor in
/etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf.

How can I achieve, to load hostap_cs ?
