Uhm..  I will have to disagree.. If the AP routes then your SOL if you
want/need to do some real routing or anything other useful (pppoe
server, dhcp server, mac auth control etc) if it's not already IN the
AP your SOL. Just give me a AP that bridge and I'll take care of the
routing behind it.

I want my desktop computer back... Did the mistake to buy a game for
my 3 year old and load it on my desktop.. But I do have my laptop....
Just not as fast as my desktop.. Time to build him his own computer..
grumble.. Wish I had a computer of my own when I was 3... :(
