Funny you mention the combo ...

Where are these damn via edens with the onboard CF + PCMCIA slots? As far
as I can tell from paper, these look like they will be a pretty good deal
for this sort of application.

You will be able to have an AP and a client card in them (they have one
pci slot) and probably just run linux off a CF card. That should be oodles
for one of these wlan-optimised distros. You could even get some routing &
encryption sw into them so that you can handle all those sort of decisions
up the pole, or in your roof!

Cya,
