Interestingly, Fedora 17 is only at 0.7.3-10.  It would be nice for a 
more current version, but for what I need, if it works with WPA-PSK it 
will be good enough for now for the lab I am building for my son.

I can see why such an app is not even in EPEL, as who would run an AP on 
a enterprise server?  Someone that wants enterprise code in a portable 
lab environment and not have to also lug along an AP. Even the Tenda 
AP.  (Centos for this lab is loaded on an old OQO2).
