wds encryption II

[Alessandro Bondoli]

Thank you John for your reply: exactly what I need to do is to join two
separates segments of the same network, because on this network there are
wireless devices that are working on it with fixed address and no dhcp.
First segment is from 192.168.159.1 to 192.168.159.128, netmask
255.255.255.0;
second segment is from 192.168.159.128 to 192.168.159.255 same netmask as
above.
Connection between those two trunks have to be realized with two aps with
encrypted point-to-point wireless tunnel. Is this possible? What are needed
steps?
Thanks in advance for enlighting me.
regards, Alex
