This spring I shared a broadband connection from a laptop in Mexico by
using ICS from the PCI broadband card to the ethernet port. I then
used a router as an A/P only. The laptop is underpowered and
performance was lousy.

I am wondering if I can use bridging to pass the broadband signal
directly to the ethernet and then use the router as a true router? I
tried it once quickly and it appeared to not work. Anyone have
knowlege of such bridging?

Thanks, Dave
