FWIW I'm happy with my FreeBSD- and Atheros-based access point and I didn't 
have to do anything special to get it working properly. I was already using 
the FreeBSD box as a NAT gateway though so YMMV.

I've had good luck with some D-Link products but it depends on the 
(individual) device, and I agree with the OP's sentiments about "consumer" 
quality hardware.
