I have had some issues with the Linksys WAP54G AP's (got mine for about 50 euros a pop) they seem to loose the "link state" on the wifi interface, they run the latest firmware as of writing, but pulling the powerplug and inserting it again "fixes" the issue. Anywho, I have a few of these on a separate subnet and a OpenBSD box acts as the default gateway running the lovely gem a.k.a pf and AltQ to strangle the pipe towards the Internet, I am thinking of setting up a http proxy that uses SSL, don't know if it's possible but it would be way cool.
