I've been assuming this as well, though I'm waiting for someone to tell
me I'm wrong. :)

And for that matter, exactly what it does, i.e., is it really a bridge?

Not to mention the range. Also, keep in mind that the WET-11 isn't really a
bridge at all. It plays proxy ARP games to make IP work and it may understand
other protocols (I never looked) but it can't pass arbitrary frames. It
associates as a single MAC address and frames to that MAC are the only ones
it gets.
