Would EIGRP require coordination with other routers, though? They would have
to be running EIGRP too?

How about static routes with a floating static route? Make the satellite a
floater with a high administrative distance so that it only gets used when
the other option (802.11b) isn't available? (when in the field??)

I may not have understood the problem, though. Never worked with a mobile
router!? :-)
