Only works if I use particular command line options.

no idea - this is just what I collected and I thing there are access 
points from eg, Linksys, Elsa, DLink which have that feature.. You can 
use them as  802.11 Client and internel they do bridging between the 
WLAN and the ethernet device - don't know how but they do or the do 
something else with the same effect...

Sorry the part  regarding the library is specially for hermes based
