Something I'm planning to do Real Soon Now(tm) - I have the white 
Actiontec that requires the goofy wireless card, but I have a perfectly 
good d-link router / AP... so I was going to set the Actiontec to put 
the d-link in it's DMZ, and use the d-link for everything else.

Not 100% sure this will work - there is the potential that going thru 2 
routers will cause issues with certain protocols, but I'll give it a try.
