If I recall correctly, only cards using the PRISM chipset support access point mode. You might have a look at the m0n0wall project: http://m0n0.ch/wall/ It's a FreeBSD based firewall that's designed to work like an appliance and works very well with low-power, flash-based PCs. Soekris (soekris.com) makes several mini-computers with PCMCIA slots that will accept most wireless cards and run well on m0n0wall.
