However reading thru the archives looks like it might only support adhoc mode? I would like a card that can do both adhoc and bss. The handbook says a card using a Prism chipset will work as an access point.

I like the USR 2410. It was really cheap when I bought it. You had to flash
the firmware on it, but once you did, it worked well and it does until
now. You might need a Windows machine to do the flashing, but only for the
10-20 minutes it takes to install the drivers. (There was also a linux
flashing utility in the works, but it wasn't quite there when I last
looked).
