Campus size Wireless LAN

  I just installed a Quickbridge 60 recently.  It's pretty nice.  The 
throughput is good over a .75 mile link.  I was able to successfully 
push ~20Mbps with an iperf test.  Installation was easy relative to 
some of the other equipment we have installed.  The feed line is UTP 
and the radio gets power over the UTP cable.  The uplink interface is 
100BaseT which is easy.  My only complaint is that it is not remotely 
manageable.  You have to have direct console to make any config changes 
which means taking the link down.  We have another .11a system in 
production made by RadioLan and it is plagued by the same design flaw.  
Stupid... I'd like to compare it to the Cisco one.  I bet it is more 
manageable.
