Wireless access point for home network

I don't have a wireless router or access point on my home network, but occasionally it would be handy to have a wireless access point. I have an underutilized Windows PC on my network. Can I put a wireless PCI network adapter card into that PC and turn it into an access point? I know you can do ad-hoc networks between two wireless computers, but I'd rather have a general access point.

I've looked around, and I've only found one PCI wireless adapter from ASUS that claims to have this capability. I kind of thought it would be more common than that. Or can this be done with any wireless adapter, and it's just a matter of getting some software to make the wireless access point?

Thanks for any tips!
