You want a PRISM2.5-based card, and probably -current.  I can't
honestly recall if "mediaopt hostap" was in 1.6 or pulled up later,
but even if it was there is other new wireles goodness in -current
that might be useful.

If you don't want/need an actual BSS, you could just as readily
operate with other cards in adhoc mode.

Then again base stations (especially b-only ones) are very cheap
these days, nothing like what your airport would have cost originally.
