What model? You throw OpenWRT on it, if possible, and then all your
documentation is then online. :) FWIW, Most linksys models
automatically (layer-3) bridge 802.11a/b/g and all wired connections
exception for the 'WAN' port, so you should be able to see each other
unless on is using the WAN (but then your Internet would probably be
having problems, too.)
Very interesting! Will it work with netgear routers?
Some, to various degrees:

I've never tried it because I only own a old Linksys WRT54G.

The project is a Work In Progress only as much as Linux is a work is progres: there's active development. WhiteRussian (the latest release) is stable as a rock and has a lot of features. Now, the Netgear support might not be ready yet. Maybe that's just a feature they they have planned for the next release (not sure if the Kamikaze name is like Sid in Debian [always the name of UNSTABLE] or not...). Of course, you can always try Kamakaze. I've gotten it to build cleanly a number of times, but never had the drive to flash it on my WRT it. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpDXjHF1imHs.pgp Description: PGP signature
