The AP3 is actually equivalent to the orinoco AP2000. In a remote 
distribution situation (ie where the avaya is also a client to another 
ap), bridging the wlan i/fs requies a WDS capable ap at the other end.
Another way to skin that cat is to have both i/f's functioning as AP's and 
have your backbone feed as a client of one of them.

On a side note, we successfully tested a dlink 900+ as a client to an 
avaya AP3 on saturday (over 37km even!).

Hrm. I dont know how different this is to the older AP-1000, its features
are a bit different. The Avaya guy I was speaking too said that they have
a bridge mode, but only to another AP-3, and that it wasnt a client mode
as such, so you couldnt attach it to another network as a client.
