I understand Foundry's wireless products do the same thing.  Seems to 
work ok but have not heard about larger test cases than a hundred or so 
clients.

In the context of that, you may wish to peruse the proceedings of the 
last few CCC Congresses in Berlin, which had pretty much working 
wireless - even with thousands of attendees:

(They're still looking for a sponsor of wireless equipment for this 
year's edition, by the way)
