ok, since nobody seems to know this, I went ahead and kept scouring the internet for an answer! XD
- the Linksys WRT54G has a cracked firmware written for it, that allows startup scripts to be run....which can set the router into "client mode" and, given the MAC address of the other router, it can communicate with it as though it were a NIC card! amazing isnt it? Man I love technology....dont go out and spend 100 bucks on a wireless repeater! SIMPLY GO OUT AND BUY A wrt54g router, get the cracked firmware, BOOST the mW output, and put her into client mode...ALL FOR around 40-60 bux! WOW XD
