Pelican Boxes, which are a very popular brand of dry-boxes for outdoors sporting, adventure travel, and other fun... they're what is used for the wifi repeaters I've helped set up at our own Oregon Country Fair and also at the Burning Man event. The boxes I worked with were about the size you imply, roughly 9x12x6 IIRC, and had a few extra holes drilled, with sealed connectors in place to allow external power and network connectors (Clif is very clever and handy in these regards, I can put you in touch with him, Bob, just ask me offline) -- they were set up with the older-style network connectors (what're they called again? they can take way more stress...) and also an auto-switching power supply, with plugs for 12VDC, and various AC (US and international) lines. You might want to examine his exact setup, since he's been working with WAP's for a while, in Bhutan as well as at the festivals. He also has an antenna amplified in there = ) Very helpful...
Here is a picture of me pointing to a pelican box, up in a tree: http://206.163.64.242/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=OCF02-PreSetup&id=P7070036_001 (please don't make me regret posting my gallery to the list... there's loads of good stuff there, please enjoy and respect.)
