[Cialug] NATing a wired LAN to wireless

[Matthew Steven]

I picked up a used Atheros AR5001X (Branded Linksys I think) card which 
is capable of doing master mode on ebay for $15 awhile back. Needs 
madwifi drivers to pull that off, but you don't seem to need master mode 
with your arrangement. Still, it's nice to have it available in case you 
switch your topology.
