Access points on wheels



I have two Aironet 1240 APs. One of them is installed in a vehicle,
which also contains several wireless clients. The other AP is
stationary and is connected to a server over a wired LAN.

I need to configure the APs so that the clients inside the vehicle
could talk to each other using the vehicle AP, and talk to the server
when the vehicle comes into the range of the stationary AP.

As far as I could understand setting the vehicle AP into the repeater
mode won't work, because it won't accept clients when the root AP is
not in range. Clients inside the vehicle, most likely, will not be
smart enough to abandon the vehicle AP and associate with the
stationary AP instead when they get close to it. Is there anything else
I could do, short of introducing another AP into the vehicle (one to
serve clients, the other to establish a bridge with the stationary AP)?

Thank you.
