There is. Comparing a wireless bridge to an AP is kind of like comparing MS-DOS to Linux. It is the extra functionality of an AP that is important for the WISP market. There are Linux and BSD folks involved in the field. If they could use wireless bridges in place of expensive APs they would. Yet

No and what license they plan to use? I _think_ some version of open source. Are they going to support more that one 802.11b AP hardware vendor? ?? If they are successful, you won't need any AP hardware vendors. Just a Linux box with AP software and a wireless card. Don't forget there are 802

Rick: Yes, by and large, that's all an AP is, a simple 5-minute bridge. Leave it to Lucent to complicate things. :) Their access-points also allow for something called "Wired Equivalent Privacy" which essentially means you can 'name' your wireless-LAN at the access point, and then only PCM

At this time we only have support for Infrastructure mode. I have a list of people interested in helping with the software project to build the AP code, but have not had the time to organize a project. If there is someone out there with better organizational skills, we'd love to work with them
