Naturally it should be supported by FreeBSD. Configuruation can be done on any pc os though. My only affordable solution so far is to use the Apple AirPort base station, and wavelan pcmcia cards, but I don't know if they can co-exist, and the AirPort needs a Macintosh to configure. My idea of affordable for this is less then $500, the lucent wavelan solution works out to about $900 startup, that's a little out of my budget.
