It appears to.  I have the bridge in my workshop which is connected to a 
hub.  Right now I only have one Windoze computer connected to it.   I 
can connect to my server's shares and to the internet great.  I have 
Netbios on the server and NetBuei on the Windoze system and TCP/IP on both.

Well I bought the LinkSys bridge 8 port hub and an outdoor directional 
antenna on ebay for $110.  I thought that was a good deal.  I bought the 
LinkSys instead of the D-Link because LinkSys said on their web page 
that you could bridge to a hub to connect two wired networks.  The other 
manufactures didn't state that so I thought better safe than sorry.  The 
LinkSys can be completely configured through a web browser so you don't 
have to install any Windoze software.

It looks like WET11's are going on ebay for $55 to $65 each.  I paid $45 
each for my NetGear MA311's.
