I'm not sure which it is.  An access point will bridge wired>wireless, so 
what's new about this one?  The Slashdot article suggested it did wireless 
bridging/clients simultaneously, but the Linksys site neither confirms or 
denies.  That's what we need this test for.

Actually, if we stick one/two access points in the front of Alex's 
house, and the WEP11 at the back, we should be able to test 
from the garden whether bridging works properly.  This OK with you, Alex?
