[MLB-WIRELESS] Convert Ethernet device to wireless client with DWL-810

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

An access point is just that, an access point for other wireless devices to
connect to.  It sounds like this Ethernet bridge is a wireless client (as
opposed to an access point) that would allow someone to bridge their LAN to
an access point they are connecting to.  Just imagine it's your standard
Enterasys WiFi card, but this one allows you to bridge your local lan
whatever it's connected to.  At the moment this isn't possible because the
802.1d? bridging packets won't carry across 802.11b.

....someone please correct me if i'm wrong. because i don't know what i'm
talking about. :)
