I am -- just recently though.  I tried getting it running on a $25 on-sale
TrendNet model, which was close to models listed as supported/working, but I
guess not close enough (maybe future versions).  I decided to try the
Linksys WAP 54GL, and it was worth it -- although it did take a bit of
patience to go through two hard reset procedures and two firmware updates
(mini first).  I started with Client Bridge mode to extend my wifi to some
cat5 devices in an unattached garage, and have now gone to Repeater Bridge
mode, and think I'm staying there unless I see bandwidth issues.  I'm only
getting about 20% signal, so I've been futzing with antennae more than
dd-wrt!  ;)

Ahem; why do you ask?

PS - I'm pretty sure that some of these devices with just enough horsepower
and a USB port (or USB headers) you can actually run then as a mini-PC, with
a display and everything!  There exists some linux USB display drivers,
right?  If not, I was thinking an old thin-client temrinal might be suitable
out there... but the MSI Wind (Atom) dekstop model is only $140 now, heh...
