Subject: BSD box as Airport replacement?

That's plan of the month;
fit a cablemodem-connected BSD box with a wireless NIC and 
run it as a gateway for iBooks.

I know nothing about wireless networking, just thought it would be cool.
Are there any gotchas with regard to the clients (iBook, maybe a Vaio)?

And what NICs would people recommend?
(Range required is < 50 ft if that matters;
BSD box is upstairs, I'll be in the
garden with a beer..)

Thanks a lot.
