http://m0n0.ch/wall/beta-1.3.php supports WPA and is based on FreeBSD 6. I'm considering this box running m0n0wall for an outdoor AP: http://www.mini-box.com/WRAP-BOX-2A1E?sc=8&category=19. Costs less than a 54G and it's waterproof.

Has anyone tried this equipment before?

I forgot to mention this earlier, but my Soekris 4801 is also acting as
a wireless access point using a Ralink minipci card, which is supported
very well in OpenBSD.  There is no WPA in OpenBSD yet (though
preliminary is being worked on), but I'm using authpf and OpenVPN on my
internal wireless lan.
