If you just want <what you have> + 802.11 AP, you can buy an
AP-capabable PCIe wifi card, and run hostapd.  There's a single git repo
that turns into two separate source tarballs -- hostapd and
wpa_supplicant.  The former is the AP side of things, and IME getting it
to run was reasonably straightforward.  It's also what OpenWRT uses.

I can't recommend any recent wifi cards - I've been using WNDR3700 and
1043ND with OpenWRT instead, for quite a while.
