Okay, right now I have: (this may be really bad ascii)
       dsl
        |(eth0)
      router
        |(eth1)
    ---hub---
    /        \
hpnabridge   ethernet hub
 |  |  |       |   |   |
computers      computers
(hpna cards)    (ethernet cards) 


I have hpna drivers working great for linux, so getting that working/etc is 
no biggie. 


I wanna switch to:
       dsl
        |(eth0)
      router
(eth2)/      \(eth1) 

eth1 would be ethernet as is now, eth2 would be a homepna card. 


Right now, since i'm using a hardware hpna->ethernet bridge, the homepna 
clients can see the rest of the network fine (same subnet, can use network 
neighborhood/etc).  How can I accomplish this with my new proposed setup? 

At first I thought i would just run dhcpd on both interfaces on different 
subnets, but then I remebered that a. network neighborhood and b. lan games 
might not work (many games require only 1 cdkey if you play over lan instead 
of the internet, and it determines that by being on the same subnet as the 
server). 

Suggestions/etc?
