[ale] FYI: Inexpensive 802.11g bridge

[H. Adrin Story]

Odd I have a BEFW11S4,  (802.11b).  It is a cable/DSL router.  but I am 
able to use it as a AP.  I just gave it an IP on the same subnet and 
don't use the WAN port.  Granted it will not ever work as a bridge.

On another note. I think the wireless performance is not so go with it. 
I have noticed that corporate email (outlook to exchange server.) times 
  out.  I have noticed this on some wireless networks and not on some 
others.  Don't know why that 16 bit M$ program has to be such a 
bandwidth pig.
