All fine to this point.

Here I connect my blue card to the "LAN" port on my router and SHUT
OFF DHCP in the router (leave it on in IPCop).  This sets the router
as a basic access point. No need to have the router NATing again -
you've already done that with IPCop  The WAN port is not connected to
anything and the router is not routing, just passing packets between
the local network and wireless point.

Been a while since I did it - but I do seem to remember setting up
wireless access on the blue page (by mac or ip - I used IP and set up
a number of IPs because I have a bunch of computers connecting to
blue, but if you are at home you can just put in your laptop mac and
that will be a second layer to keep others from connecting.

Technically it would also work using the wan port as long as you have
the router's mac or ip on the wireless access page, but that is two
layers of address translation.
