I've got a d-link travel AP that has the capability of being a wireless-bridge. Cost about $60 at Frys, and works quite well. there's also something from Linksys called a 'gaming adapter' that also works well. And, you can just take any old access point and use that in bridge mode, and it should work just fine. Take a look at: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WirelessLTSPClientsUsingAnEthernetBridge Still, i'm interested in hearing how the Macsense product works.
