yes.  yet i tried static ip as you suggested, and it works.  weird.  what's
the name of the bridge interface i should be looking for?  bridge0?

sanitized config.xml excerpt below:

--------------------------

<opt1>
	<descr>WLAN</descr>
	<if>ath0</if>
	<wireless>
		<standard>11g</standard>
		<mode>hostap</mode>
		<ssid>xxxxxxxx</ssid>
		<channel>0</channel>
		<wep/>
		<wpa>
			<mode>psk</mode>
			<version>2</version>
			<cipher>ccmp</cipher>
			<psk>xxxxxxxx</psk>
			<radius>
				<server/>
				<authport/>
				<acctport/>
				<secret/>
			</radius>
		</wpa>
	</wireless>
	<ipaddr>192.168.x.1</ipaddr>
	<subnet>24</subnet>
	<bridge>lan</bridge>
	<enable/>
</opt1>

--------------------------

note also that there is a dhcp config for opt1, but on the web interface for
dhcp it is of course invisible with bridging enabled.  could that make a
difference?

--------------------------

<opt1>
	<range>
		<from>192.168.x.128</from>
		<to>192.168.x.159</to>
	</range>
	<defaultleasetime>604800</defaultleasetime>
	<maxleasetime>604801</maxleasetime>
	<enable/>
	<next-server/>
	<filename/>
</opt1>
