i've been using Lucent's WaveLAN products to setup a 'WISP' for a month now,
and even with many oopses, we're doing fine. right now i'm using a wireless
connection with Lucent stuff to get to a leased line 2 miles away, and we
get around 1.5Mbps. Also, i have done some tests with a laptop, walking
around the street near to the wireless POP, and works fine. The WaveLAN is
supported under Linux, so you should be fine.

i don't know how much is cheap, but i think these cards are around $150
each, and you need a PCMCIA adaptor (or a laptop), and that's another $100
or so.
Also, there is a similar line from Cabletron, cheaper, but i don't think
their products work under linux, i don't remember.
hope that helps you,
Alberto.
ps. i don't have nothing to do with Lucent, just use their products.
