External Bridging Access Point Recommendations?

[alex]

I've been having issues with my Atheros-based wirless card operating in 
HostAP mode for several weeks now, and between that and the fact that 
my wife's Acer/WinXP laptop never worked with our previous Prism 
2.5-based card (and only intermittenly with the Atheros card), I'm 
getting to the point that I'd like to just go with an external bridging 
access point, so I no longer have to worry about compatibility, 
different chipsets on different versions of a card, etc.

Before I go out and spend my money, though, I'd like to hear any 
success stories my fellow OpenBSD users may have with such devices. If 
possible, I'd prefer to send my dollars to a vendor who's been friendly 
about documentation and/or other aspects of working with OpenBSD, 
though my primary concern is reliability. If you've got a horror story 
or vendor/product I should pay particular attention to avoiding, I'm 
interested in that, too.

Thanks in advance for any info you can pass along. Hopefully others on 
the list will benefit equally from your knowledge.
