Edit the ifcfg-eth(?) file, for the interface that is connected to the AP, that lives in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ From: BOOTPROTO='dhcp' To: BOOTPROTO='none' BROADCAST='10.3.0.255' <-- IPADDR='10.3.0.10' <-- adjust these to the xs layout NETMASK='255.255.255.0' <-- NETWORK='10.3.0.0' <-- The exact numbers above would depend on what else is set up on the box. Could a get a better description of your intended layout, perhaps could you post the output of "ip route ls" of your current layout.
