Here is a link to the "ultimate war driver" although not used for
that purpose this Amateur Radio mobile communications center is more
than capable of getting a signal farther than 10 miles, a lot
farther. Ham radio operators are not constrained to the "commercial
power limits" in parts of the "WiFi" spectrum. I think the power
limit may be 5 Watts ERP or perhaps 50.

For a brief history of wireless networking see
http://www.cfs.sunysb.edu/Stu/pnoboa/ (and web search it!) "This
network was called the ALOHANET and is considered to be the world
first wireless network."
Amateur radio experimenters have been instrumental in the development
of many commonly used communications modes, wireless digital and
networking in particular.
