A PCI/PCMCIA adapter just puts a PCMCIA (or CardBus) slot off of your PCI bus. So HostAP just works with them as it would with a laptop.

PLX adapters are specific for the PC Card

You still have to run card services because it is just a PCMCIA slot, it isn't magically turning your card into a PCI one.
(At least this is what I understand)
