[MLB-WIRELESS] 802.11g Starts Answering WLAN Range Questions

[paul van den bergen]

yes, well.... that is a good question.

I guess from everything I have read, 54 is a theoretical upper limit, just as 
5.6.6kbps is on asymetrical modems on POST.  the equipment is capable of that 
speed, but the conditions need to be fairly spot on.

I imagine that in a noise free area such as out of town, over about a few 
meters (far enough that the antennas don't couple) that fairly high 
bandwidths are available....

ofcourse I could be completely wrong :-)

I have a question of my own now.

Is my understanding (below) correct?

consider the following situation.

there are 3 APs, ap1, ap2 and ap3

ap2 and ap3 are connected by a LAN and traffic is bridged between them.
ap1 and ap2 are local (reachable) but ap 3 is remote.

there are 2 users, u1 and u2.
u1 can only see ap1 and ap2
u2 can only see ap3

u1 (me) is running an apache server.

Q.
u2 is associated with ap3.
can u2 see the webpage on u1?  does it depend on the following;
	If u1 is running BSS and associated with ap2?
	If u1 is running BSS and associated with ap1 (which ios acting as a bridge to 
ap2)
	if u1 is running IBSS.

as you can see from above, I am having a bit of trouble understanding the 
limits on connectivity between BSS and IBSS machines.  can an IBSS machine 
talk to a BSS AP or only other IBSS machines?
