Maybe I'm misunderstanding that wiki, but it seems to be describing this
kind of setup:
WAN <--> foreign AP <-wireless-> debian box <-> more devices
But what I'm wanting is
WAN <-wired-> router/modem <-wired-> debian netbook AP <-> more devices
(But thanks for taking the time to mention that page.)

One of these days I'll get someone to pay me
to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C.
Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef,
run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define,
and stop all integer size bugs with a bare cast.
More of my delusions:
