PCI express card that does AP mode? (abit wlp-01?)

A machine I want to set up as an AP has only PCI express slots free...

I've tried looking at the wiki, but I can't easily find an inexpensive
pci express card that will do AP mode. It's the usual problem: shops
don't say what the PCI ids of the device are, and the quoted
manufacturer isn't the manufacturer in the sense needed by the kernel.

I've seen adverts for the Abit WLP-01, and elsewhere on the net seen
implications that it's 168c:001c, which isn't listed at
<http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices/PCI>, but
<http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k> does list it and
says AP mode not working, but mentions
<http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility/Abit>, which suggest AP
mode works with madwifi. What's the current status?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a card?
