Yes, but it doesn't work. The problem is hostap_cs module is not 
assigned to the PCMCIA wireless socket (or slot).

When I load hostap_cs module, "dmesg" shows:

kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: excluding 0xa0000000-0xa00fffff
kernel: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
kernel: ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
kernel: hostap_cs: 0.4.4-kernel (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi <http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/hostap>>)

But it might shows (or something similar):

kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: excluding 0xa0000000-0xa00fffff

I have found other people with hostap_cs in Debian and Ubuntu recently:
