I don't know if this is what you are asking, but I have a Linksys BEFVP41
connected to my Cable Modem as the Gateway, and a Linksys WRT54G WiFi Router
plugged into it and configure as a Router. This gives all my PCs wired or
not access to the Network and Internet on the same subnet, and the switch
ports on the WiFi router are used transparently for any wired connection.
This has been working very well for quite while.
I would be glad to provide some details on the configuration when I get home
if you're interested.
