Best I can suggest is to keep asking around.  I don't know, because I prefer
to use *NIX for hardcore network hacking.  I can tell you how to get Win2k
up on IPv6 though. :-)

There is some (commercial) software to turn a Windows box into an AP with
many common cards.  You can also use the router approach, which is as simple
as installing the wireless card, putting it into IBSS mode and then setting
up routing betwenn the wired and wireless interfaces, similar to what I've
done under Linux. :)
