No idea about this, but thumbsuck... wouldn't ack's for packets receive take longer to return to the sender over a long link? So on a short link it's quick because it doesn't travel that far, but on a longer link it does? 9kb does sound low though...

AFAIK, radio waves travel at close to the speed of light. Unless your link is located on a geostationary satellite, this won't really be a factor here.

My thumbsuck for bandwidth between bridges - for every bridge data travels over on a wireless .11 network, divide the maximum speed by two. I think this is documented briefly in a RFC.

4 bridges -> 11mbit / 2 to the power of 4. == SLOW SLOW SLOW

Hidden node is the result of the ethernet protocol. http://frottle.sourceforge.net/
uses the Token ring protocol to solve this. Frottle is implemented in www.qorvus.com
mesh software. This will solve your hidden node problem
Quote from frottle page on the Linksys wrt54g
"OpenWRT Installation Instructions
An "itsy" package for OpenWRT based WRT54G routers has been kindly provided by Zombie, and can be downloaded from his webserver or the project download page. Installation instructions have been provided here.
With the help of OpenWRT, Quagga and Frottle, a cheap, versatile and highly functional freenet AP/Client/router can be built. This is especially usefull for people with Windows servers who are currently unable to run frottle.

Would Daffy please explain why this product wont work? I believe you will get impedance mismatching , wont a rf-transformer solve this?
