: i don't think any retail wireless router firmwares aren't 
: bridging the wireless and lan in one subnet by default.
 
   and from a security perspective, that's "da fault". it is perhaps just 
me, but i'm thinking the "lan" is one interface, and "wifi" another.  
having a 'global' exposure in tandem with a more trusted "local" network,
is asking for trouble. something i'm not brave enough to attempt.

   on a multihomed system, interfaces, other than lo, work best if 
independent of each other. if i understood correctly, the idea was to 
assign the same addresses to both lan, and wifi interfaces. i am not sure 
this machine would like that a lot ...  


: thanks,
