HUH I have a Lucent in OR mode that it is working perfectly have about 20 smart's pointed to it and working, On my airpoints I have lucents, teletronics 2mb and 11mb , planet 2mb pcmcia cards, airbridges, umm and I think theres one other but I can't recall what it was.
As for the RSSI level ye you need to keep it over 70 for reliable service 80 is recommended by smartbridge if you don't have this then move the antenna with a better fresnel zone.

If you have an extra AP try putting it in client bridge mode and see if that
works. We have not been successful in getting a airBridge to associate and
pass data with any brand of access point including AirPoints since the last
couple of upgrades. An airPoint in client bridge mode seems to work ok IF
it's talking to another airPoint. Also the RSSI seems to need to be up
around 80 for us to get dhcp addresses if it drops to the 50-60 range we get
dhcp server not found.
We have lots of Orinoco cards and a few other brands all talking to the
airPoint access point.
