Just caught up on this thread.  I really don't care if people think this mod is useless.
I've got 3 APs using it just fine.  It was cheaper for me because I had all the bits.

To utilise the onboard flash, the most effective manner would be using alternate chip
select - this would need alios coding.  I don't think there are further address lines
handy, but I would not be surprised it the other chip selects are available on the unused
pads on the left of this image

If you can get a second PCMCIA going you would be better off with another wireless card so
you can do forwarding.

Cheers,
