Sorry, I think I may have replied to this off-list. I'm using a BCM4318 PCI 
card as an access point. I've got it in mixed wpa/wpa2 mode and have had it up 
for a couple of days so far. It's a Bufflo card, though I'm not sure of the 
exact model. It is in a desktop, a Dell Dimension 4550. Thus far it has vastly 
outperformed my old DLink DIR-655. I'm quite happy, though it took me about a 
wink to iron out several kinks. I also had to use "eapol_version=1" in 
hostapd.conf to get everything working properly. If you need any further 
details, please let me know.

Eric
