Sorry I think this reply is ludicrous. This supposed to be a public discussion list the Nycwireless project, not a email billboard. I think if he had wanted that answer he would of asked "Do you know of any companies that can help me do this". I have not been on a single mailing list that would condone that.
To answer your question free of cost, if you want to connect to seperate wired segments via 802.11b you have a couple of options: To bridge two access points wirelessly you will first of all need Access Points that are capable of this. Not many consumer grade access points are. the Linksys WAP11 can do this, however people have varying results with stability etc... Are there any others around the same price of the WAP11 that do AP to AP ? Also note that in this mode I believe the WAP11 can only connect to the other device and not act as a local access point. You can use a low-cost lucent rg-1000 or apple airport (same device) and get the turbocell enabled firmware from Karlnet. This should allow you to do what you want. However you will need to purchase the firmware upgrade from Karlnet. You can buy a more expensive Access such as a cisco or higher end Lucent , or Intel that can do this. Keep in mind that Cisco, Lucent, Intel etc... generally use there own proprietary solution for this mode and they do not interoperate when connect AP to AP. Yet Another cheap solutions is to use a PC on each end with a wireless card in IBSS (ad-hoc) mode. IBSS mode does not require a BSS Master (AKA Access Point), the only thing to keep in mind is that both boxes will have to be routing/forwarding IP packets, as I do not know of OS-Wifi-Card combo that will allow to bridge (at the mac layer) a wired to wireless segment. Use an access point on one side, and client card in a router (unix or windows) on the other. This means however that the two seperate segments will be routed via the client so they will not be on the same subnet. Chris Hale wrote: > Frank et al, > > Please feel free to call us anytime.
