Hey guys. I've got a mainly Windows network set up (non-NT and non-2k or XP...all 9x. They're fairly stable.) However, there's two groups, and they're on different ends of the building. Both have their own hub/switch. (currently they're switches, but I can change them to hubs, if for some reason, that must be done for this to work.)
The two groups need to be able to talk to each other, but running a wire isn't an option due to various reasons, including aesthetic reasons. We have therefore decided to create a wireless link between them. I think I am correct in thinking that buying 2 Wireless Access Points (one for each hub/switch) is not only expensive, but would not achieve my goal. So I plan to buy 1 wireless access point, and 1 wireless PCI card. Access point goes into uplink on one hub/switch, and on the other end, I plan to have a LRP box that has the wireless card installed, with a normal wire LAN card. I hope to run a LEAF distro on this box, and all it would do is shunt all data fro eth0 to eth1 to the hub/switch, and from eth1 to eth0 (which then goes to the access point which will take care of the rest.) I was wondering if anyone had ever done this before... Could someone point me to some relevant docs, or recommend a particular distribution to use? (I'm sort of a Linux newbie, so if you could also include some instructions, that would be great.) Please point out any flaws in my design. Suggestions to better my method would be most appreciated.
