The Linksys WRT54g has a 4-port switch, an RJ45 jack labeled "Internet", 
and an access point which can speak 11Mbps and/or 54Mbps.
What I do on our local lan is essentially to use it/them as a bridge.
Turn off the Linksys DHCPD, set the internal IP address, set a password,
set whatever parameters desired for wireless access,
and not use the port labeled "Internet".

To effectively show under ifconfig, I think you need a third NIC,
and precisely one cable from the OpenBSD box to the Linksys.

Subject: OpenBSD with Linksys WRT54G


Hello,
my home network consists of 6 machines, one of them runs openbsd, which
i used for dhcp, nat, pf, php, mysql, etc.
Now i bought a Linksys WRT54g wifi router, at the moment i use the
router's configuration utility, which is accessible over the web,
i'm not familiar with it and it doesn't feel comfortable for me, i'd
still like to use openbsd for serving my home network and use the router
for 100Mb LAN and for WiFi,
my question is - is it possible to just use the router as an access
point and set the firewall rules, dhcpd on my openbsd box, so the router
would just show up as an interface under ifconfig ?
