You didn't specify the default wepkey, but the syntax looks OK to me. > (2) Will the IP of the wireless card be the same as the cabled (rl1) > card (192.168.11.1)? So, a cabled workstation contacting 192.168.11.1 > would reach rl1 and a wireless one ath0? Is this correct? The wireless NIC doesn't get rl1's ip address, it just sees more or less the same traffic. BTW don't bridge your wireless and wired networks if you don't have to. If your only goal is to get internet access for your wireless clients, it's probably safer to just add another NAT zone.
