Just been doing a little experimenting. My BBBW comes stock Angstrom a hot spot (sans internet) that can be connected to quickly (with passkey "BeagleBone", ip address 182.168.7.2) that has a range the same as stock wifi (about 200 ft indoors, 400 ft outdoors) that you could socket over. Was thinking how you would push serial data across the wireless TCP/IP link (like with two BBBW's...kind of expensive around $150 for 2 BBBW's) but if you needed a quick-and-dirty serial between two close locations wirelessly this is definitely the way to do it. Just write two programs/libraries that establish a socket connection across and push serial data across it. A programmatic solution.
Its actually solid on the latest BBBW's (just tested mine tonight). Got solid nice aquire and connection between two stationary hosts. You could also transfer files across with a forking C program (or other language) that spawned a shell process and FTP'ing from there. Then use opendir() to scan your FTP directory and read the data there. I mean if you need more than just stock serial comm.
