Re:No, DON'T use ndiswrapper (Score 1)

Exactly. Don't go with ndiswrapper. Use madwifi with an atheros based card. I've been using my home server (FC4) as an AP. Works pretty well, even bridges OK with the rest of my wired network. The only issue I've found is that the range of my PCI card (acting as as AP) is somewhat limited compared to the standalone routers I used to use (linksys).
