Dave, a good many of the wireless card software / drivers are based on this team 
(husband and wife) http://www.linux-wlan.com/profile.html - may have a few in sights 
located there.  

I saw my first wireless gateway (access point) at my first linux meeting held by them 
in 1997.  They were using a MPC850 (~PPC) on a 5 x 5 motherboard running linux.
