[Voyage-linux] How to realize a Point to Point Connection

[Punky Tse]

Andrew,

On throughput issues.  Last night, I tested madwifi-ng.  Running two 
boxes a few "inches" away, one WRAP and one soekris net4511.  Both with 
madwifi WDS bridge setup (yes it works!).  Either a or g mode, I only 
got 6-7 Mbits from iperf. 

I am not sure the correctness of my test, as I used low-end 4511 at one 
end and do not measure the system load.
