looks interesting. we are building a similiar network.

why not. the only disadvantage is, that you have no webadmin, you have to
configure ist by configfiles. if you are familiar with this kind of
administration, thats perfect.

why? ye you can "brctl" all interfaces, but thats not good for date throuput.

on which advantages you are thinking? we have a routing network here.

btw: it is not possible to use the atheros cards on a 5 GHz link. In
europe you need 801.11h (as extension of 801.11a! there are things like
radar detection. the atheros chip supoorts it, but the driver doesnt. so
ist illegal tu use that. i dont know other mini-pci cards (centrino also
doenst support) with right implementation of 801.11h.

anybody know?

math
