[ale] [ALE] Setting up DHCP with Wireless

So,

I am trying to setup an arm board that has the following setup

eth0
eth1
lan0 at eth1
lan1 at eth1
lan2 at eth1
lan3 at eth1

Because of the part of the house I am on, I can't use ethernet. So I have a
wifi card in. So I have wlan0.

Being that eth0 should be wan, and lan0 to lan3 are lan. Now here is what I
am trying to do, and it's gonna be a bit crazy.

I like to use the arm board ( Banana-Pi BPi-R2 Pro ) as a hub for other
small board devices on my desk.

I am running Bullseye, and I installed isc-dhcp-relay. In hopes that I can
just pull in a device into one of the four lan ports.

Here's what I got setup so far

# Defaults for isc-dhcp-relay initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-relay
# installed at /etc/default/isc-dhcp-relay by the maintainer scripts

#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#

# What servers should the DHCP relay forward requests to?
SERVERS="192.168.107.1"

# On what interfaces should the DHCP relay (dhrelay) serve DHCP requests?
INTERFACES="eth1 wlan0"

# Additional options that are passed to the DHCP relay daemon?
OPTIONS=""

I am assuming, which is bad for me that I need to wlan0 to issue the
request, correct? Or do I need lan0 at eth1 thru lan3 at eth1 to pass the
request. Which now makes me ask, how will they be able to pass traffic from
the wlan0 to those lanx ports?

Is it possible to do what I am wanting? I want to test ethernet devices,
thus why I am not using a wireless usb dongle. I have plenty. Oh, did I
tell you that I have already install OpenMediaVault on this board, so
another reason for me to get it working.

Thanks for any help with my crazy idea.
