It will take me awhile to get back to where I can get the "ip route" outputs. I will send those later today.

I assume you mean the 10.0.0.0/16 networks on both eth0 and netcs0. I have wondered about that also. Those routes are setup by Wisp-Dist (not me) based on the if.config file at the end of my original message (also quoted below). Can you suggest changes? However, even with the network overlaps, all works okay when layer 3 bridging is enabled. I think it works because of the static host route to 10.0.0.1, added by parprouted (I think). When layer 3 bridging is turned off, the static route to 10.0.0.1 is missing, and routes to wireless clients are not added to the routing table.
