[olug] bridging networks

[Aaron Keck]

I'd recommend just using the bridge-utils package.  It will combine your
eth0 and wlan0 into a single interface, br0.  No need to setup a DHCP
server, since the xbox can send DHCP requests over the bridge and get an
address from the main network router/DHCP server.

sudo apt-get install bridge-utils and follow this guide, or google for one
of a dozen more:
