[ale] [OT] Need an 802.11G *bridge*

[Bruce]

I'm using a Linksys WAP54G. It seems to work well.
It's sitting behind a DLINK VoIP gateway/router. The
DLINK hands out addresses and all that wonderful
stuff.

I've also got an ancient Linksys WET11 bridge. Those
things last forever, lol. I finally powered it off.
