I'm planning on doing the same thing. Is there anything I need to know about IP addresses for this config? I know the BBA has a fixed IP address. I'm using DHCP for the wireless connection. Do I simply configure the 100-base interface on my machine to have a fixed IP on the same subnet and...? What if my wireless network is in the same address space? I see this same topology is in the quickstart guide:

It says that your wireless card needs to support "promiscuous mode". This could be a show stopper.

Guess I gotta score a copy of Mario Kart, Kirby or 1080 to sort this all out. Wink
