IMHO using spare computers to duplicate the functionality of an AP is a
triumph of engineering over common-sense. You'll get an AP that is less
reliable than an off the shelf product costing £10 and you won't have anyone
else to shout at if it goes titsup. It's fine as an academic exercise but I
wouldn't use it in a production network.
