I dunno about him, but I'm planning on bridging from the upstairs LAN to the living room, which will _not_ have a PC in it, but will have a couple of empeg-compatible devices.

All of the obvious things (a VPN or PPP over SSH) require a PC at both ends, so that's out.

So, unless I can beef up the encryption provided by the access points (given that they'll be running as peer-to-peer), I'll have to put up another set of rules in my firewall, and park the wireless gear outside it. This is a pain.

Also, both of these solutions mean that the Ethernet-level bridging no longer works, which is less than ideal, because of the need to get subnet-local IP broadcasts over this thing.
