Hmm.... Got a point there. :-)

Anyway, the AP on the other side is a HW one (Asus WL-300, Atmel chip).
I tried putting that one in Wireless Bridge mode and the connection
between my server and that AP dropped immediately, so that doesn't
really look promising.

Or does WDS work in AP mode too? Not on the ATMEL thingy, I'm afraid.
Unless the thing accepts WDS packets/connections from any node.

Would be a nice option if there were still PCI slots left in my server.
