Yes, that's just it. The router idea is pretty good, but I don't have time to mess around with that right now (I haven't used ddwrt before). I think I shall purchase a selection of cheap cards and see if I can get one of them to work. The current Atheros based one that I have causes a lock-up during boot up and the only thing I can do to get it working is disable ath_hal (the restricted kernel module the card requires).
