Good luck getting your DHCP on your AP to provide the necessary fields for an LTSP workstation. All of the cheap Access points that I've seen have very limited dhcp servers, that don't allow you to specify things like 'filename' and 'root-path'. Both of which are critical to an LTSP workstation. Can you instead setup your wireless router to act as a wireless bridge instead?
