Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

hello;

yes it would be easy with an airport or a residential
gateway from lucent/orinoco/agere but this is a linux

wireless card/cards in 'access point' mode.

also while i could bring up dhcpd i would rather not.
nat is not a problem.

digging deep, i feel my conscience burn
i need to know who and what i am
this hunger jolts me from complacency
rocks me, makes me meet myself
