In /etc/conf.d/net as usual, just disable iwconfig and wpa_supplicant |
| 10 |
in modules_wlan0 |

You probably don't want to do that. It will give you two connected |
| 17 |
routes for the subnet, and only the one with the better metric will be |
| 18 |
used, so you wont be able to communicate with hosts on the other |
| 19 |
interface. You could probably setup bridging, but IMO it would almost |
| 20 |
certainly be better to just use different subnets. |

I could be wrong though - try it and see what happens. |
