This isn't how I want things at all. I have numerous real static IP 
addresses which are available on my ethernet network and this arrangement 
has been working for several years. I don't use DHCP at all. As I  
understand it, my ADSL router is currently acting like a bridge between  
the ADSL interface and the Ethernet interface.

What I can't figure out is how to incorporate WLAN into this.

Presumably the WLAN interface must also set up in bridge mode so would 
have the same IP address as the the Ethernet interface. At this point my 
mind goes blank since I can't figure out how this could possibly work.
