I have a Soekris 4521 with 2 ether ports and 1 nl-2511 prism based card.  I 
want to set this up with the ether port going to my main network, servers 
and Internet.  The wireless will be in ad-hoc mode to talk to the remote 
building setup.  The other wireless port will be used later for possible AP 
or other remote location.

The remote building setup will be a 4511 with 2 ehter ports and 1 nl-2511 
prism based card.  This wireless card will be in ad-hoc mode to talk back 
to the main unit above.    Same essid.

The main network is setup with the following:  192.168.25.0/24.  My gateway 
to the Internet is 192.168.25.254.  The ether0 port on the 4521 is 
192.168.25.250/24.  I want to use the same addressing in the remote 
building.  192.168.25.251 for 4511 and 192.168.25.101 and 102 for workstations.

My questions:

Do I need to bridge the either0 port with the wireless port on both ends??
Do I need to turn on any routing to enable the sides to talk to each other??
What would the default gateway need to be set at on both ends.. I am 
assuming the same as what my main router is..192.168.25.254??

I have been messing with this for awhile and can get a wonderful AP created 
and with the antenna I am using I am able to travel down the street and 
still pick up the AP and surf but this doesn't get it in the building.

Thanks
Randy
