[Chilli] coova-chilli on Debian Lenny

[Timothy]

To start lets clarify things a little. All 3 devices (Modem, Server, AP) 
can usually route traffic, so which one is the "router" that you're 
speaking of below.

Check your cabling between the AP and the server. You say that eth1 of 
the server connects to the AP and that it DOESN'T come up and you think 
it's correct. If you don't get atleast a link and it seeing the media 
NOTHING is going to happen.

One thing you need to remember is for Coova-chilli to work it MUST see 
the DHCP request. So you would need to make sure the AP below was 
configured as a dumb AP ideally on a second network range eg 192.168.1.2 
on it's LAN interface (so the client ip's (from coova-chilli) didn't 
overlap with the ap's ip address). Also make sure that DHCP is turned 
off on the AP.
Then the server's eth1 ip address would be 192.168.1.1

Make sure that the server and the AP can ping each other.
