[Cu-wireless] OpenAP platforms

[Jon Dugan]

  This looks like a really cool option.  I am planning to get may hands on one
  of the US Robotics APs that is based on the same motherboard.  I think the
  USR product can be had new for less than $150:

  It isn't clear to me that all the features that they list on the instant802
  page are actually implemented at this point.  None the less this is an
  intriguing option.
