You'll have two problems:
1. The e100 is said to have a problem with bridging, depending on the
driver you use.
2. You need to have your wlan device working in a special mode, which is
not available to the atmel-chipsets afaik. This mode is known under many
names, such as "Host-AP", "Master-Mode", "AP-Mode" and others. Without
this mode, you won't be able to bridge between wlan and lan. The only
way to work around this problem then would be to use proxy arp - afair
there is a daemon available that cares about the wlan-lan situation in
context to proxy arp. You should find it when searching freshmeat.net
with "proxy arp" or thelike.
Bye, Mike
