I understand Foundry's wireless products do the same thing.  Seems to 
work ok but have not heard about larger test cases than a hundred or so 
clients.

In the context of that, you may wish to peruse the proceedings of the 
last few CCC Congresses in Berlin, which had pretty much working

(They're still looking for a sponsor of wireless equipment for this
