USB wireless AP?

[Boris Kochergin]

Do you know about http://ralink.rapla.net/? The RT2500-based cards 
listed there are supported by the ural(4) driver. There's a discouraging 
comment about using them for access points in the man page, though:

CAVEATS
     The ural driver does not support automatic adaptation of the transmit
     speed in IBSS and HostAP operating modes.
