Sorry -- this is FreeBSD. OpenBSD is next door.
As to your question, I suggest asking those awfully nice chaps at Google
about "wifi infrastructure mode" and "wifi ad-hoc mode", possibly with a
few extra search terms to zero in on the implementation details in
specific OSes.
Wotthehell, wotthehell: I shall make it easy for you:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html
Summary for management: Acting as a WiFi access point is possible if you
buy the right hardware, but the fastest speeds suffer from a general
lack of hardware support at the moment.
Cheers,
Matthew
