I have the card since 2003 and I was using it back then with HostAP
(in managed mode - after much pain with linux-wlan-ng, I was surprised how
well HostAP worked). I even flashed the card's firmware using hostap tools
multiple times (currently v1.8.4).
But I don't remember if I had to add card's device ID to the driver...probably
because PCMCIA configuration was totally different back then.

Yes, that looks good, it would match my card too:
  product info: "LG", "11Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Card", "Version 01.02", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)


---------------------------

Add generic "Version 01.02" match (used by many different cards) to hostap_cs.

This allows LG LW1100P PCI card (with integrated CardBus bridge) to work
(tested with rev 3.0) and probably also LW1100N (PCMCIA).
