Thanks, I don't mind spending some time getting to know the system
and fiddling around with it as time permits. So long as I know that
it's not going to be impossible.<br>

<div>Rather can you please explain the problem you are trying to
solve.
<div>Perhaps there is a way to achieve without large changes.</div>

Here is what my network looks like:<br>
<br>
<tt>+---------+ +-------+ +-------+ <br>
|DSL modem+----+ Linux +----+ Apple | <br>
+---------+ | box | |airport| <br>
+---+---+ +-+----++ <br>
| | | <br>
| | | <br>
+--+--+ + + <br>
| VPS | eth wifi<br>
+-----+ <br>
</tt><br>
The DSL modem is currently in bridge mode which means it is
invisible to the network, the Linux box receives the WAN IP address
from my ISP and is currently doing the NAT and DHCP, and the Airport
is also in bridge mode and is only responsible for putting its
ethernet ports and wifi onto the same network as the Linux box.<br>
<br>
The problem with using the Apple airport for Open Wireless is that
it doesn't support a guest network when it is in bridge mode.<br>
