Great info is at Cisco Aironet Ethernet Bridge.

Quoting Cisco, the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Direct Sequence Ethernet Bridge... :

• Offers up to 25-mile range

• Offers up to 11 Mbps data rate

• Links buildings into a single LAN

• Requires no license

  This looks like what you should get mainly because their is no real hacking that is needed. Yes this takes away the fun but Cisco is designed for the distance. I would recommend checking EBAY for some good prices. Remember that you will need two of these if you plan to have a wired network on this "island" of yours... But if you don't: just get one base for the mainland and then a pcmcia card for the island (cheaper that 2 base stations).

  I hope this helps!
