Linux based 802.11g wireless access point?

[IDversusEGO]

I have found a few distro's that will do a 802.11b access point, but not G. I need G if I am going to do gaming or video streaming. Anybody know of a good one?

If your weighted towards gaming then .11b is plenty. But yeah, streaming would not work well over 5-6 Mb connection.

yeah, I will have a Home theatre PC that needs to ba able to play the video files from a shared drive.

It's not so much of an issue of whether or not the distribution supports it, it's whether or not linux drivers are available for your 802.11g card/chipset. I think HostAP drivers are currently limited to only the .11b models are Prism chips.

I am not sure if I understand you... but isn't the wrt54g firmware linux based??

if I have to buy one of the shelf, I will ge tthe WRT54gs, but I am running a linux based bootable cd on an old PC for my router now. I can stick an 802.11b wireles NIC in there and it will act as an access point, but I need G.
