Hi,

I'm planning to set up an AP by adding an USB wifi card to a 7.0-RELEASE 
machine, and I'm interested in a couple of things:

- First, hardware compatibility - AFAIK only some cards support AP mode? 
Can anyone recommend such USB wireless hardware, preferably in terms of 
product names instead of chip names? I see the following cards in a 
local store: BANDRIDGE CWN4002G, CANYON WF-518D, CANYON WF-518, LINKSYS 
WUSB54GC.

- Are there any tips & tricks additional to the instructions on
