Building a Wireless AP -- what NIC to get?

[boobytrapped]

Question first: do you know of a PCI wireless card that still comes with the Prism/2/2.5/3 chipset

Story:
Ever since my linksys wireless router/AP died (eh, what else should i have expected from the cheap-ass router), I have wanted to build a wireless access point using my gentoo desktop computer. I want to be able to run in managed mode (ie. a true access point).

The HostAP wireless drivers for Prism2/2.5/3 based 802.11b network cards are just perfect for this job.

Uptil recently popular brands like linksys, netgear, and D-Link used to have the Prism chipset in them, and since these are the most widely available brands (even in the great white north), life was just perfect.

However, recently almost every manufacturer has changed and switched to other chipsets (sometimes even without changing the product part-number! you have to buy the card and do lspci before findout what chipset it has). (What's worse is that many of these manufactures are now using the Broadcom chipset -- who don't show any intention of releasing a driver for linux - not only can you not build an AP - it won't even *run* on linux. Stay way from that chipset at all costs).

So, I am looking for a prism based card; available from a retailer who ships to canada (whats up with the retailers not shipping to canada?)
