Sam, this is something which is vendor-specific. There is currently no standard for wireless bridging in the 802.11 spec, AFAIK. I'm assuming you want to bridge the two segments into one. I believe Cisco allows you to do this, with Aironet APs. What is the distance? It might be easier just to bury a fiber loop between the two segments, as the APs would probably be "locked" into bridging mode and therefore unavailable for client connections.

Do any of you have experience with Access Point to Access Point Wireless network?  I have a Cat 5 Network in my house and am about to have a workshop built and will have a Cat 5 network it that as well.  I would like to link these two networks wirelessly.
Thanks,
Sam
