Yes, but with these caveats:

1) Make sure hostap doesn't bind to the card first, since both drivers
can use the card
2) Make sure you have kernel 2.6.13 or higher, or that you have orinoco
drivers from CVS (for scanning support)

If that doesn't work for you, debug logs would be great.  You can get
these by running NM as root with the "--no-daemon" flag, and copying the
output from the terminal to an email which you send to this list.
