I just setup a wireless backbone for my nonprofit organization; and, it's running quite reliably now. - Used Alvarion BreezeNet 2.4GHz FHSS for long range backhaul. - Used D-Link DWL-900AP+ with additional antennas for building-building bridging. - Used D-Link DWL-614+ for in building APs - Used D-Link DWL-120+ for client connections (using MMCX connectorized antennas where necessary.)
Good luck.

But if you are familiar with unix, consider using Soekris hardware with pebble linux software. Much more flexible than off-the shelf hardware. > 3. Security.
