[MLB-WIRELESS] Linksys WRT54G

[Jason Hecker]

What's the switch part?  Some (such as ones from Micrel) let you 
configure the switch engine through a little synchronous serial port on 
the switch - such as setting up VLANs and blocking connections from one 
port to the others.

Then, as you say, there need only be one eth port on the CPU which 
relies on VLAN tags to differentiate the red interface from the green 
ones.  Saves on parts.
