I don't know other drivers very thoroughly, but if you give some more details about the error messages with Host AP driver, I could take a look at the problem.

What kind of network are you going to use? In which mode the cards are? For example, if you just start two cards with Host AP driver's default settings, they both will end up being access points and do not exchange packets (unless you configure WDS separately). If you setup one card as the access point and the rest in managed mode (either by loading the module with iw_mode parameter ('insmod hostap_plx.o iw_mode=2') or by using iwconfig after having installed the module ('iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed'), you should get a working network and "no ToDS" messages.
