Well, the WRT54G, which uses the Broadcom chipset, with either 'WiFi box' or 
SVEASOFT can be put on channels 1-14  (anything above 6 is out of the ham 
band). I'm thinking maybe you could get one channel below 1 that is on the ham 
band (channel 0?) but no idea if the broadcom would support that. Certainly no 
reason to.
