Nope, but I'd really like to.

Presently I have a Lucent WaveLAN card for my G3 PowerBook (Wallstreet).
This card works with Apple's AirPort drivers and comes with drivers for
Windows and Linux (x86).

I'd like to put one in Qube3 so it can act as a wireless basestation for
wireless users.  The primary ethernet would be for wired users and the
secondary ethernet would still be the WAN port unless a separate gateway was
present.

Although an Apple AirPort basestation is quite cheap, getting a Qube3 to do
the job would be a real nice solution.
