If you really need an wireless AP, consider setting up RADIUS or VPN server in your BSD machine, since WEP is a joke, close to useless
Ouch, you mean the NIC itself can brag about handling WPA and WPA2, but when used as an AP that feature is no longer possible in the hardware???

How to know stuff like that then?

The easiest thing then, if this is really true, is probably to just buy an AP and plug in to one of the routerports....I'll see how I'll do.
Setting up some strange server on OpenBSD probably ain't the easiest....dont have any wireless in that machine eitehr and dont even know if one would fit (its a small VIA Mini-ITX 800MHz). EDIT: Its got USB's anyway.

Strange anyway M0n0wall has settings for WPA2 and stuff if it cant be used, or maybe its just for the few occations when you'd like your router to be a wireless client also.
