For this application I would recommend not bridging. Use Ad-Hoc mode and use layer-3 (ip) routing between the interfaces. This is the simplest configuration to set up and maintain.
Any one of a number of Prism cards will work just fine. Actiontec, Linksys, and D-Link seem to have the best prices lately. Using the Ad-Hoc mode setup shouldn't require any firmware changes. -Mark On Thu, 27 Jun 2002, Pierre Lamon wrote: > Hi, > > the mobile robot I'm working on has 2 PC's (one PC104 and 1 laptop) linked with > an ethernet cable (twisted).
