[clue-tech] OT: Ethernet Bridges

[Bamm Visscher]

I have an old NetGear WGE101 wireless to ethernet bridge that supports
multiple systems behind it. I don't see them on the NetGear product
page anymore though.  It works fine, but can only do WEP (no WPA).  I
also have a WG602 that supports multiple devices in bridging mode,
although I've never used it in that capacity.
