Abstract
A disclosed wireless tunneling system determines a suitable configuration of a wireless tunneling apparatus for tunneling communications between two processing apparatuses through a wireless link. Responsive to determining the configuration of the wireless tunneling apparatus, the wireless tunneling system establishes a communication with another wireless tunneling apparatus through the wireless link, while maintaining compliance of the communications between the two processing apparatuses with a wired communication protocol. Moreover, the wireless tunneling apparatus can supply power to or source power from a processing apparatus coupled to the wireless tunneling apparatus through a wired cable.
