hi yogesh
wlans come in two modes: infrastructure and ad-hoc. but considering your
requirements, u should operate in infrastructure mode. there would be
one (or more) Access Point (AP) and all the clients would have wireless
ethernet cards installed in them. The AP provides an interface between
the wired and wireless networks. So, you can actually continue to run
your servers on the wired n/w.
we have deployed a wlan in our campus and use Dlink products. They
operate at 22 Mbps. Dlink didnt release linux drivers for these products
but fortunately a sourceforge project did so, recently. so running linux
clients would not be a problem either.
hope this helps
regards
Sandeep
