Thank you for including the above "sketch" which finally let me understand what

similar to what you describe except that the "debian notebook AP" is replaced
by a commericial wireless AP (but, as your sketch shows, wired to my router /

Aside: I wouldn't think it should be very difficult, since it seems to be off-
