Hi all

Curious
I have a Net 4801 with 5 Eth Ports 3 + 2

Can the ports Eth4 and Eth5 be configured to act like a hub?
Where I can connect a Wireless Access Point into Eth4 and then have the
The Soekris act as a firewall/gateway device?

+------------+       +---------------------+
|    WAP     |       |    Soekris          |
|            |<----> | Eth 4       Eth0    | <----> Internet
|192.168.0.2 |       | ???       Public IP |
+------------+       +---------------------+

The WAP will be assigned an IP eg 192.168.0.2
??Does Eth4 Need an IP??? Don't know
Eth0 will have the Public IP and connect to the Internet
Soekris will run a linux distro and iptables ???

Thanks in advance
Barry
