[Click] Building bridge Ethernet 802.3 to 802.11b using Click.

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi Leandro,

It should be possible to build such a bridge, yes; but if you are just  
looking for the cheapest/easiest way to get a bridge running, probably  
raw Linux is a better bet.  Click is designed for researchers.
