Dynamic VLAN Membership

Here's a question for someone. I have a wireless cafe setup using a Dlink
3200 AP and a LinkSys54GL with WRT RC6 firmware.

The central switch is a 16 port LinkSys SRW2016 managed VLAN switch.

I currently have 2 VLANS setup 1 & 2.

1 is the wired computers in my cafe.
2 is the 2 wireless AP's

Is there a way using Dynamic VLAN membership based on MAC address to have a
wireless client a member of VLAN1 and therefore have access to the wired
network?? I have ready the manual for the switch and can see no clues, other
than GVRP is the protocol.

Any clues??

Can the LinkSys AP tag Ethernet packets with VLAN information, based on
associate MAC address??

Hi,
Where are you connecting the Internet drop in your setup?
The VLAN behavior is generally available in Wireless APs of the
enterprise class where you can setup a separate SSID for the VLAN in
question and the wireless clients that associate to this SSID will be
a part of that VLAN.
I am not sure whether the wrt54gl or the dlink can do this.
However, in your case, you can connect one of the APs to VLAN1 and its
wireless clients should transparently become a member of that VLAN.
Regards,
Shiv

Yes I could do this, using untagged VLANs. However the D=-Link AP is open
access for cafe users. The LinkSys is outside for longer range users. My and
other admins need to access the wired side whilst mobile. The D0Link can do
the multi SSID and with 802.1Q tag the packets accordingly. I was wondering
if there Linksys with WRT firmware could do the same. It can have additional
Virtual SSID's, but no mention of Tagging them.
