Wireless-A Ethernet Bridge

Are there any ethernet-to-wireless bridge converter that works in
802.11a?

(Sorry for my english)

Sorry, I think I was not clear enough... I'm really trying to find an
Ethernet to Wireless converter (not a bridge), like a Linksys
Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge, but working under 802.11a

Sorry for my english one more time :-)

I didn't quite have your application in mind, but I don't immediately
see why what I suggested wouldn't work for it.

Ah. I was curious as to what the difference is between clients and
base stations. (-: The 8570 will repeat things from one client to
another, but I guess that other base stations can't associate with
each other as clients, so it wouldn't be useful.

For point-to-point bridging of two ethernet LANs wirelessly,
Airaya comes to mind, although my understanding is that
Airaya isn't exactly 802.11a but a proprietary mutation
thereof.

Also, for some reason, Airaya uses 5.25-5.35 GHz, instead
of the 5.725-5.8xx GHz range that I understand allows higher
power.

Who else makes 5.x GHz bridges like Airaya?
