The Atheros cards support AP mode. Get one of those. I have two dual-band
D-Link DWL-AB520s that contain Atheros chips. They support .11a and .11b.
They seem to work pretty well as access points. I think there is an AG520,
also, supporting .11a/b/g. Beware of the .11b/g products, since some of
them are Broadcom.

IMO, Prism cards are obsolete. Atheros is where it's at.
