[TriLUG] Wireless questions...

[Steve Kuekes]

Hopefully there are some wireless folks out there that know the answer 
to this question....

I have a group of computers in my office downstairs including my Linux 
box gatewaying to road runner.  I'm moving a desktop computer upstairs 
and since I can't get wires up there easily I'd like to hook them up 
wireless.  This would be some kind of wireless bridge to another hub 
were I could put one or more wired computers.  Also, I'll be getting a 
laptop soon and my son will be getting one next summer for college so 
I'd like to use them via the wireless network also.

My question is...  There seems to be access points that work as access 
points or as bridges, but not both at the same time.  I think I need an 
access point for the laptops and a bridge for the two wired lans??

Is this correct??  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
