We didn't have a whole lot of luck with this, but don't give up hope entirely.

IIRC, The problem is that without a router you are stuck in ad-hoc mode. AND, either the bridge or the classmate don't support ad-hoc mode (I don't remember which). BooHiss.

I think the cleanest work around is to put a router on the robot, instead of the bridge. I can vouchsafe that a WRT54GL works wonderfully with the PD and the cRIO, though it may require some configuring. I'm sure other teams have used other products as well.

I'm not a network expert, so please correct me where I'm wrong!
