This is interesting - it's something that I've been considering doing for the Asterisk rollout at my company. We don't have enough Ethernet ports and I'm not thrilled about the expense of re-wiring the place.
Have you tried D-Link's dual-channel gear for even more bandwidth, or do you feel that bandwidth is not really a problem? How resilient is 802.11g against interference from other sources? Microwave ovens, gigarange phones, etc.
Thanks for reporting your success here to the list, just proves I'm not alone with my funny ideas.
For what it's worth, I tried using a 7940G with a Linksys WET-11 at home for a few months, and it just wasn't reliable enough to work. The WET11 was only ~40 feet from the base station, but it'd still drop off the net from time to time, and there were tons of random packets dropped. I ended up spending a weekend pulling Cat 5, and life's been a lot better since then. My laptop has similar problems with wireless in the same location, but it's a lot easier to put up with a few lost packets when reading mail or browsing the web--lost VoIP packets stand out like a sore thumb.
