[Slightly OT]Wired+wireless LAN at home



I would like to add a dedicated WiFi AP to my current home LAN. Anyone please so kind to tell me if/how it is feasible ?

Current setup follows.

Have a nice weekend,
Bob

In my house I have two ADSL lines coming to a router and a bridge. Have two PC which go with an ethernet cable to each one and a patch cable joining the two switches.

The Debian box eth0 has 2 IP addresses, one public IP served by the bridge and a private LAN address on the subnet on which the other PC (the one behind the NAT router) lives.

Let me try writing an example:
ADSL 1 -bridge-eth0-PC1 (public IP which goes on ADSL1 and 192.168.174.242)
ADSL 2 -NAT router-192.168.174.241-PC2 eth0(192.168.174.244)

In this way both PCs use their own ADSL but when they have to exchange data it travels on my local LAN.

Now I would like to add an AP connected to the NAT router to use from my laptop (PC3) which has a 802.11a/b madwifi card.

Will this WiFi AP act as a "bridge" serving the NAT router DHCP addresses ?

The the WiFi AP act as a second NAT router issuing it's own DHCP addresses on the WiFi LAN ?

Thank you
Bob
