Should I need only one wireless card in my router to connect to both the clients and a wireless bridge which is connected to the WAN? I think you need 2 cards in your router (one as host and one as client to the wireless WAN bridge), unless you use WDS. Got it, thanks Paul. That's good news

Have you considered using PXE to network boot your systems? you can have various configurations set up based on mac addresses to address different hardware issues. I recommend trying out SystemRescueCD to experiment with PXE booting for the client and server. That sounds like exactly what I

Got it, thanks Paul.  That's good news because it means I can use any 802.11n PCIe 300Mbps card with Linux drivers instead of worrying about AP mode.  I'll just use a 802.11g card in AP mode until there is better support for 802.11n.  The router uses most of the bandwidth from the WAN. Hi

Thank you.  It looks like you are using it in AP mode but in 802.11g mode.  Is that the case?  I'm also curious if it can operate in both the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands? Its certainly counter-intuitive, but that's what I found when I searched N configuration. I have had better than 54M bit rates
