Nah, the reason for the complexity wasn't the half-bridging: it was that
I had set my router's IP address to 192.168.14.160, but 192.168.14.*
was on the other subnet.

Rather than change it to be on a different subnet, as an excuse to learn
some more of Linux's nifty advanced routing stuff, I decided to use a
static route with a different preferred source address to get the
packets out of the right interface and through the firewall without
masquerading. :)

But that's a silly way to do it. :)
