[Wylug-help] OT: Conexant ADSL Routers

[James Holden]

Dan,

Thanks for that. That's exactly what I want.

The half-bridge poption is hidden away in the 'Miscellaneous
Configuration' section, which is less than obvious.

The doc is also correct about the Encapsulation mysteriously changing
after setting the misc options.

Regards,

James
