I'm still no wiser....
I have a device with three interfaces ADSL, Ethernet and WLAN. If I set
up WLAN in bridge mode, does that mean anything on the WLAN network is on
the same network as the Ethernet network?
I think I would prefer adsl/ethernet to be bridged and adsl/wlan to be
routed, but have no idea if that is feasable or not.
