I do not think you should limit yourself to Ethernet.  The 
Ethernet protocol is very hardware-dependant, and will
not lend itself well to radio.  The KA9Q package is
especially designed to to TCP/IP communications via
radio.  Alas, it is written for MsDos, but it seems
reasonable to port it to Unix.

I suggest that you get some of the KA9Q documentation and
otherwise communicate with the Packet Radio people to get
more information about this venue.  -David-
