The default gateway might change if the MAC is on a different network or subnet. The radio it's self doesnot need to have an IP address on your MAC's network since you can still manage it remotely from a windows computer if routing is configured probpely.

I'm using the 1.43 simpleMonitor. When I want to check the connection, check signal level, re-associate, whatever, I need to disconnect the Ethernet coax from the Airport, connect it to one of the Windows machines (reconfigured for the 192.168.xxx.xxx subnet), and run simpleMonitor. Once done, I connect the coax back to the Airport, reconfigure the PC for the Airport subnet, and go. Kind of a nuisance. I also considered setting up a different subnet on the Airport but its options aren't adequate. I have considered reconfiguring the airBridge with a 10.0.1.201 IP address that matches the Airport's subnet, and is outside the Airport's DHCP range, so I can do the aforementioned without the hassle. I can avoid that hassle by running the 1.5x simpleMonitor but I get frequent dropped connections when I install that. I'd rather have the 1.42 hassles than the 1.5x hassles. Can you think of any problems I might buy myself reconfiguring the airBridge? Is there any other setting that should change besides the IP address?
