Hi Matt,

This is an intriguing notion!  I just happen to have sitting on a nearby 
shelf an old Netgear WG602 wireless bridge that we used years ago, 
before a Linksys wireless router arrived and DD-WRT made life much better.

So I can hook this thing up backwards and use it to sit on our wlan? 
Whoda thunk?  Well apparently someone did, and I'm glad for that. Woohoo!

Thanks for the pointer!
