No all those inexpensive bridges simply reform the MAC source address to their own (much like the airbridge works).
I think the key behind keeping airbridge functionality different from client bridge is to have a higher end product which is capable of more and thus more $$$. Of course who knows, with this new firmware they may just end up putting multi-mac capability on the airbridge to enable PPPoE to work. Cheers, Paul ----- Paul C.
