Re: home hostap on athn(4)

I concur with Stuart, use a purpose built AP, which has OpenWRT or DD-WRT support.  Use it for  transport layer and use OpenBSD for L3 and above services.

If you want actually good performance, use a dedicated AP.

Unfortunately they're almost always insecure and certainly far less secure than OpenBSD. The Linux kernel wifi scanning bug was really bad. Openwrt might be a reasonably secure option assuming it gets regular updates.
