OK, I understand. I actually have more than 20 FreeBSD-5-CURRENT servers and
those are working well in production environment.

The reason I want wireless AP on m0n0wall is - almost every feature is in 
m0n0wall, I mean captive portal, radius support
firewall, dummynet etc. I hardly see any commercial APs which has all this 
features:)
Also another main reason is development possibilities of m0n0wall since it 
is FreeBSD based and
BSD licensed.
