Some of the Linksys wireless used Linux software and DDwrite programming they could easily be used as client's

The Linksys routers, typically WRT54G or WRT54GS but also many others, work perfectly well with one antenna (use a dummy load on the other antenna connector because at startup it may try to transmit through each antenna). DD-WRT firmware also works exceedingly well and can be configured as a client, a repeater, a client bridge, a repeater bridge, or any of several other ways, and it's free. By the way, the DD in DD-WRT is for the city of Dresden, Germany, where DD-WRT was developed; and the WRT stands for Wireless Router and comes from the model numbers of Linksys wireless routers. DD-WRT was originally developed for the WRT54G series of routers.
