My apologies.  I should have explained that this was to replace an old
consumer grade AP (Airlink) that keeps getting knocked over on a noisy
and probably well-hacked consumer subnet of TimeWarner.  I've missed
m0n0wall and it's performance it did wonders for me on an old EPIA
mobo with two Realtek 8169 NICs until the roof came in on it 7 years
ago (literally, storm/water damage killed it as it was on the floor).

But, your advice is acknowledged.  Thanks!
