I have used the SB3 as a bridge. It was connecting to the wireless
router as a client and allowing devices connected via an Ethernet switch
to the SB3's Ethernet port to gain access to the Internet via wireless.

There is a quirk to this though because all the traffic the SB3
forwarded from the other devices connected to it's Ethernet port had the
SB3's own Ethernet MAC address on the wireless network.

This works in that any packets coming back in response to those
forwarded will be correctly sent to the SB3 which then know where to
forward them to but it does break some assumptions made in some ADSL
routers that clients who hold a DHCP address will respond to ARP
requests and thus cause the router some confusion.
