	Just a comment... if you found people whacky enough to do this, why
not just run some cheap spools of CAT5 from house to house. It almost sounds
like you are the only houses in the area, or close to (I just skimmed the email
so don't shoot me if I missed something). I don't think anyone would notice or
seriously care if you have some cable dangling from tree to tree. It doesn't 
have the cool factor, and you can't walk around outside with a laptop (at least
not that far from the house), but its faster and can't be more expensive...
	The maximum run on ether is 1500 meters no? That should allow a minimum
of repeaters (are their pure repeaters or do you just get a hub?) on a area of
1-2 km with scattered houses.
	Just my 2 cents...
