[olug] bridging networks

[Christopher White]

Any el-cheapo wifi router capable of running dd-wrt could be
configured to do the same and the bonus is, you get an additional 4
wired ports and the dd-wrt router can repeat wifi traffic to extend
it's range.

Lookup bridging and repeating on http://dd-wrt.org
