Justin,

Have you actually used one of these in a FreeBSD laptop?  I see that
they also have a "Prism" mini-pci card.  Does anyone know if it's the
right flavor?

I have a friend w/ a Dell X300, which has an unsupported mini-pci
card.

I'd *love* to find

  a) the make&model of an 802.11b mini-pci card that is known to work
     in AP mode on freebsd [w/ bonus points for being able to work at
     all in linux and windows]

and

  b) the name/url of a place to order one.

Trying to google around and find a prism mini-pci card hasn't been too
productive.  

I've seen comments about ripping apart a linksys wpc11, which seems
strange since it's a pc-card, but I'm not above buying some random
d-link or linksys or... device to gut, if it's not too expensive.
