Re: [Nolug] 802.11

yeah, but odds are, you're friend's using 10.1.255.255, and you're
routing that to him (you're using 10.2.255.255, in this example.) you
don't try to route the public IPs to him, unless we're talking ipv6 (one
of my favorite subjects) in which case you just route the entire /48 or
/64 thru the wireless, and be done with it.
