I've worked intensive with wirless networks on my previous work and I'd
recommend you Lucent Orinoco + Linux-based access point. These cards are
worth their price and Lucent provides full Linux support. Latest driver
versions have all functionality Lucent offers in the Access Point hardware
but under GPL so any Linux machine with PCI CardBus can be inexpensive
high quality access point.
My previous employer runs now 4-6 nodes using this Linux-based technique
where each node is about 10-11 km from another. They have 11Mbit/s without
problems.
