You'll have two problems:
1. The e100 is said to have a problem with bridging, depending on the 
driver you use.

2. You need to have your wlan device working in a special mode, which is 
not available to the atmel-chipsets afaik. This mode is known under many 
names, such as "Host-AP", "Master-Mode", "AP-Mode" and others. Without 
this mode, you won't be able to bridge between wlan and lan. The only 
way to work around this problem then would be to use proxy arp - afair 
there is a daemon available that cares about the wlan-lan situation in 
context to proxy arp. You should find it when searching freshmeat.net 
with "proxy arp" or thelike.

Bye, Mike
