Sweet. Can't wait to try this in the morning (when my lease expires).
From what you describe it sounds as if my secondary IS getting its IP address automatically from the primary. If I set the IP of the secondary to a static address of my own, would this lease thing go away--or open up "a whole 'nother" can of worms?

If the netmask is set to 255.255.255.0, as is common, then you can only change the last digit... to put it simply. It would be pretty safe to assume the primary's netmask is indeed that, so you'd do well to stay within the 192.168.1.* subnet, at least between the bridge and the primary -- you could define your own subnet and do dhcp for it on your secondary, bridge, device (at least on the wired ports, I know).
