I use a soekris box with a Seano card to beg service from a company
across the street.  My side comes off eth0.  For a while I had wlan0 
set up to get it's address via DHCP, but I noticed that it was SLOW 
to boot.  Some sort of race state at boot time I image.  Anyway both 
the wlan0 and eth0 are now static addresses and it works much better.

Inital configuration of the system can be found at
<http://sssg1.whoi.edu/swap>.  I did have to make a few modifications to
get it to route correctly, mostly in iptables.  If you are interested, I
can write up the modifications and pass them along.
