You can try checking out the Linksys WRT54G or the WAP54G: http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=508 http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=505 I'm not sure about transparent bridging, but you can download the documents on it and check it out. I use the WRT54G at home and haven't had any problems other than having to upgrade its firmware. It is configurable from http so you don't need windoze. You can upload its firmware from from the embedded http server, but that only seemed to work from windoze. The WRT54G runs some version of Linux and the price is pretty good; you can find them for less than $100 US. -- Dan Eischen
