[Openswan Users] Bridging lan over wireless link

[Gary W. Smith]

I'd check with the Netfilter (iptables) group.  The routing is tricky
but I'm sure it can be done.  

Is there a particular need for the bridge?  Doesn't that add undue
traffic over the wireless?  Why not segment the network using the bridge
as routers.
