I had it in gateway mode and I got an IP from my wired router, so thats
pretty much the same as
what would happen with a hub.  A bridge would be basically the same I think.

I have it in router mode now, so that I have a 10.x.x.x network for the
wireless and a 192.x.x.x for the
wired.  Because the wireless router's gateway is the wired router on the
192.x.x.x network, when I want
to connect to a wired machine from a wireless machine, it works no problem.
To do it the other way around,
I'll have to setup the routing tables on the wired machines.  Unfortunately,
my wired router is old, and doesn't allow
me to manipulate the routing tables.
