I'm going to retract part of what I said here.  I just found out that Zoom
has a program that will turn your PCI wireless card into an access point.
The software, however was around $160, and I'm sure the card would be
$100-$150 (I'm assuming you have to use Zoom's card with the software),
making the total cost about the same as the separate access point.
