Re: [Openvpn-users] openvpn and WEP again, sorry.

hi

thanks for all the responses. I have done some more reading and it seems 
that the virtual interface is the way for me. I don't really want to 
bring USB into the picture and my access point is too cheap and nasty to 
support any of those features that Jean-Pierre suggested.
While reading about virtual interfaces, i encountered this page about 
iproute2 suite of commands 
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/sf/linux/2002-q1/0095.html
This is all new to me, but it sounds like I can simply assign a second 
IP (on a different subnet) to my internal NIC.
Could I then not just use this second subnet for the wireless AP and all 
its clients?
Then I would bridge this second IP address on eth1 to the TAP device IP 
as I previously described, and those clients that didn't have openvpn 
installed and were just using my wireless after cracking WEP wouldn't be 
on the bridged network, but on the separate wireless subnet, and the 
firewall would drop all packets???
But how do I set up a DHCP server on the eth1 interface to hand out IP's 
from 2 different  ranges on two different subnets?
And how do I know which range and subnet a particular client IP will be.
Or should I just forget about this 2 IP's per physical interface idea 
and implement virtual interfaces as originally suggested.

thanks

Daniel
