was served by a Linksys WET11 wireless bridge.</para>
<para><note>
<para>While marketed as a wireless bridge, the WET11 behaves like a
wireless router with DHCP relay. When forwarding DHCP traffic, it
uses the MAC address of the host (TIPPER) but for other forwarded
traffic it uses its own MAC address. Consequently, I list the IP
traffic it uses its own MAC address. Consequently, I listd the IP
addresses of both devices in /etc/shorewall/maclist.</para>
