The WRT54GL is a wireless router, not a wireless card. Broadcom provides a binary-only driver for Linux 2.4, but not for 2.6. I'm sure that using driver b43 with mac80211 from the wireless-dev tree will provide the software that you need. The critical thing is the revision of the 802.11 core. You use b43 for rev >= 5, b43legacy for rev < 5. I don't know how well it will work as an AP. On the WRT54G, the BCM4306 may not connected to the host via a PCI bus as it is in PC's. The b43 and ssb drivers have all the necessary glue code. By the way, b43legacy must have a PCI bus as the glue code was removed, but it could be added back if needed.
