[UFO Chicago] Linux friendly wireless access point

Just now Dave made 15 LEDs in my apartment flash with this:

The Linksys WAP11 and BEFW11S4 are both web administered and make no
assumptions about operating systems.  I've heard that the Netgear and
SMC access points all use the same components as the Linksys gear and
are fitted with similar administrative interfaces.  I do not know of
any telnet or serial controlled APs except perhaps a Cisco.
