I've had a couple of Linksys WAPs.  I had an old 802.11b and now a b/g
that have worked without any issues.
The only problem I have ever had with Linksys was their switches
sometimes get mood if you plug in live cables before powering them up. 
Sometimes flashing to the latest firmware solves strange problems.
