[ale] VLANs for home with a Linux Router

[Robert L. Harris]

   One of the things I want to do is create 2 wifi lans using my Meraki.
It'll create a guest lan based on vlans.  It should be able to handle
multiple subnets, I'll just have to look into that instead.  I want to make
sure someone on the guest lan can't get to my file server which is on a
common switch though.
