11g is supported by iwi, wpi, ral/ural drivers (no g for ath yet, also many ath vendors are now using newer chips not yet supported by the open-source driver). hostap is supported by by wi, ral/ural, rtw, ath. The intersection of the sets is ral/ural, if anyone's seen a cardbus ral with antenna sockets I'd be interested to know which one. (MiniPCI and PCI don't have much option but to use external antennas, of course, since they have to get the signal outside any RF shield/case). The newer radio cards most suitable for AP use are usually MiniPCI.
