I've a little box that I got called the MeshAP, (it was announced on /.).
It comes with a RF card (Ad-hoc mode only) and it now my RF router for
my home network.  Is this this sort of thing your looking for?  Cost
was £250 inc RF card - On yes, and it ships with Linux - that's why I
got it.

I've added a hard disk (came with Slackware on a Flash chip and I wanted
to play - now it's running Debian [what else I hear you cry].
