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.
