Where's the fun in this then? On the other hand it would be the easiest, practical solution to the problem.
You think the config would be tricky then?
What I think you need (and I'm not knowledgeable enough on networks to explain how) is to create a network bridge on your PC between your wireless and your wired PCI NICs. I guess that the way to do that would involve packet routing using iptables (masquerading), but I never needed to look into it. Hopefully by tomorrow morning some of the net-admins would have logged on and will provide more pertinent guidance. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
