Ok, one last question, how would I bridge the wifi with OPT interface when 
the linksys router is being plugged into the OPT interface? remember, this 
is an external router... WRT54G... or maybe I am misunderstanding you. 
 If intefaces are bridged, does that mean they have complete access to each 
other? or is that where the firewall rules come into play? 
 If i did want to route the wifi(OPT) interface to the WAN, how would I do 
that? 
 Thanks in advance.
