I probably won't bother, I've seen it in hotels where they have multiple ap's with the same SSID (you don't notice theres more and one unless you use something other than the windows built in wireless config util)

I didn't know if it was just a case of windows going by the SSID and not worrying about the physcial address or if it required a special sort of hardware to do chain several together and make it appear as if its a single network...
