brad's life

Apparently my favorite Portland coffee shop and Wifi access point is closed because the owner got arrested for molesting children?

Damnit. Stop molesting children and let me drink coffee until 2am with internet access.

When I was in LA at that Angel thing I ended up buying a Linksys Wireless WRT54G access point. Tried to make it bridge there, but gave up and found a work-around. (making my laptop use its wireless to the hotel, then do NAT over its wired to the WRT54G's "Internet" port, and have other clients use that....)

Now I want to use it at the office and well, turns out it doesn't support bridging. So, uh, suck.

I read this:

No, the WRT54Gs don't support bridging. The WAP54Gs will bridge however, ...

I don't want to use the Linksys' DHCP or NAT.... I want to do all that in Linux, since I have to do special firewall stuff anyway to use it at the office. (want to be able to connect to internal machines, but only on ports 22 and 80)

Maybe I should try and return it. Pain in the ass.
