Sure. My arrangement isn't a typical wireless setup though. The AP I'm
using is a Netgear MR814v2 wireless router and the wireless bridge is
a Linksys WET11. The client, an LTSP Term 150e from
disklessworkstations.com, connects to the wireless bridge via ethernet
so there isn't any PCMCIA card involvement here. There was one issue
related to the munging of DHCP broadcast packets with this wireless
bridge which requires me to spoof the MAC of the NIC on the client and
results in only being able to use one LTSP client behind the bridge.
This would lead me in the future to investigate a different bridge
that would allow a router behind it with mutliple LTSP clients. I've
heard of others doing exactly this, but I don't know what bridge they
are using.
