-By default, this project creates a custom wireless Ethernet link between two computers, each attached to a WARP kit (FPGA board + clock board + radio board).  Each computer is unaware that a wireless link is present, and simply communicates with its neighbor using a standard wired connection.  The WARP boards are "inserted" between the two computers to provide a transparent wireless bridge.  The following diagram gives a simple overview of the configuration used in this example.

-If it is impractical to obtain two local computers, the WARP link may be inserted into the wired connection between a single computer and a DHCP server.  Typically, the WARP boards will be inserted between the computer and an RJ45 jack in a laboratory or office.  This configuration, while appearing to be a simpler one, may be more difficult to troubleshoot in the event that problems arise.
+If it is impractical to obtain two dedicated computers for this example, the WARP link may be inserted into the wired connection between a single computer and a DHCP server.  In this "alternate" configuration, the WARP boards are typically inserted between the computer and an RJ45 jack in a laboratory or office.  Although this alternate configuration may appear to be a simpler one, it may actually be more difficult to troubleshoot if any problems arise.
 
-The WARP kits that implement the wireless link treat Ethernet packets ONLY as payload, and do not perform ANY IP processing.
+Regardless of the chosen configuration (one computer or two computers), the WARP nodes implemening the wireless link treat Ethernet packets ONLY as payload.  Packets are received and forwarded without any IP processing.
