and a Pringles-can yagi -- you'll be fine. Possibly with good line of sight you might not even need the pringles can.
Buy two, configure them to talk to each other -- wire one to the source home network with a static IP address, and hook the other up via a cross-over cable or a switch with down-link capability using a second static IP address (if the private space IP addresses for the first network are like 192.168.1.x, pick two IPs -- that's all it takes).
Follow the instructions for the WAP 11 in bridge mode, in other words. On the switch or via the crossover cable on the down-side of the equation put a laptop or PC and configure yet another address (I'd opt for a third static IP, just to keep your network setup from failing due to dhcp requests not making their way back to the source).
Test -- when working, transport the down-link WAP 11 to the final resting place and see if you can ping across the gap. If it doesn't work you may have to build the pringle's can into the mix.
This all worked fine for me for years with two neighbors in the mix.
Good luck,

Dvorak is going to score big on this article, though, because it's going to get page impressions out the wazzou. Slashdot has linked to an article that:
1) Tells us nothing more.
2) Has enough flame-inducing tone (but not substance -- if you're looking for it you won't find it here) to cook the lunatic masses.
3) Will help Dvorak "prove" his point -- all he needs is some lame email from this written by someone who didn't read the whole thing.
Move along, these are not the droids you're looking for.
Sounds really familiar to me. Something gets bought out and ruined by replacing all of the editorial staff.
Then really unethical things happen. Then someone blows the whistle.
Reading through some posts here -- media is _supposed_ to be something it's not at times -- ethical. Just because some media is extremely unethical doesn't mean that it all has to be. It certainly doesn't excuse the people that have been caught doing the bad stuff.
I've worked in many different industries in my time, but what has surprised me is that in the Banking industry, they make you sign an ethics statement before you can done an ounce of work.
You'd think before you were allowed to publish stuff or blast it out over the airwave, there'd be similar rules in place.

Is this news? Just curious :)
