[clue-tech] iPhone wants to talk to Meraki ( linux based )

[WFT]

What I am trying to right now is understand if it is possible to make  
a Meraki mini
( http://meraki.com ) act in the following way :
       ( I don't know the proper nomenclature, and I apologize for that
                   ... part of what I am trying to learn)

I want the Meraki to appear as a fixed IP address webserver to a  
device accessing it via wireless 802.11b/g.
Let's say I have an iPhone.  I instruct the iPhone to log onto a  
wireless network ( provided by the Meraki )
with an SSID of "meraki".  The security is WEP or WAP or ????.  ( I  
don't care about the security aspect at present.  That will come  
later. )

The iPhone connects wirelessly to the network.  Now the iPhone is  
instructed to access either a local IP or Global IP www.xxx.yyy.zzz .

The IP www.xxx.yyy.zzz addresses the Meraki.
The Linux running on the Meraki directs this request to a Webserver  
running on the Meraki which offers up HTML created by a Ruby script  
or by a PERL script.  The Webserver accesses the outside world using  
a LLSP ( low level serial port ) to a PSOC processor.  The PSOC  
allows the webserver to control external devices and gather data.   
( For example: in a car you could access car status, start the car,  
unlock the door, etc. )  I am comfortable with the PSOC part of the  
project.   ( http://www.cypress.com/psoc )

The end result is that a user would see a webpage on the iPhone which  
would allow him/her/it to see status of the car and control aspects  
of the car.  Same with hottubs, home environment, office building, etc.

I don't what kinds of Linux wireless extensions or configurations to  
look for to do this, if it can be done at all.  How should I proceed?

I noticed that my SMC7004 wireless router allows me to webpage  
configure it through either the ethernet port or the wireless port.   
Webpage configuring
through the wireless port is is what I think I want on the Meraki.   
Why use a Meraki ?  cuz it is $49 and cute ( has wireless port,  
serial port which is what I want )
