Hi Asbjørn, Just meant generic layer-2 bridging so that you didn't have to worry about network layer routing. Was really thinking out loud and hadn't thought it through completely. Anyway, I seem to recall that there is a limitation on most(all?) wireless cards which precludes their use in a bridging setup. The more i think about this option the more complex it seems. As for the routing setup i outlined you're right that it is a tad complex, but it in the end it seems pretty straight forward. To get started you could make all the routing tables static and only add the routing protocols/daemons later to improve reliability. You could test everything out with a few desktops and/or laptops to make sure you had it sorted out before you tried to implement it over any real distances. Anyway, if you pursue this or a different option it would be great to hear from you on your progress and success.
