Hi,
Hi i am working on a project that lets wireless computers talk in an ad
hoc fashion.I need a 1 km LOS connectivity between any 2 sites,I have 2
options:

1.Put a PCMCIA card with an antenna on it.I looked at senao wireless
card
(http://www.wirelesszones.net/oscommerce/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=6&products_id=45)This
has 1200m LOS connectivity.

2.Use a WET54G linksys wireless ethernet bridge.This is because of the
range issues and economic consideration (a WET costs around $149).

        I am planning to write a routing protocol and evaluate its
performance.Will a bridge act differently from a pcmcia card? What else
does a bridge contain?I am also worried about suitability(Since a
bridge traditionally supports a large number of nodes) Also does any
website discusses the power consumption in these things?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Ben
