I use proxy ARP to achieve this with WPA:
route add -net 192.168.1.0/25 dev wlan0
route add -net 192.168.1.128/25 dev eth0
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan0/proxy_arp
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
But it only works if you know beforehand on which interface your ALIX
will see an IP address. You could run the DHCP server on your ALIX to
make it more deterministic.
