[Voyage-linux] using an Alix 3d2 as a wifi client bridge

[Jeff]

Hi folks.

Not sure if the subject of this message is technically correct; here's 
what I want to do:

wireless router (wrt54g)  <--(wifi)--> Alix 3d2<--(ethernet)-->  switch  
<--(ethernet)--> multiple PCs

In layman's terms, I want the Alix machine to be the gateway for a local 
group of machines, instead of
them all accessing the wireless router directly.

The 3d2 is running voyage 0.9-rc1. I want to use a Rosewill RNX-N150UBE 
(a USB device) for the wifi
interface on the Alix box. As I see it, I need to do two things:

 1. add support for the USB wifi device, which uses the Realtek
    RTL8188SU chipset
 2. configure voyage to route/bridge traffic between the wifi and
    ethernet interfaces

Am I missing anything? What, in particular, do I need to do to get the 
USB device working? I don't
think the existing kernel modules support it.

Thanks!
