That's what we are doing now with the Bullet2/Bullet2HP we use, combined 
with WRT54G router with Wifidog's client running on it. But we don'y 
want this setting anymore!
First because this a two-harware solution for each hotspot (more risks 
of maintenance, higher costs)
Second because the WRT54G are discontinued.

Already done : good solution for a point-to-point wireless backbone or 
relay. ;-)
