Right, I'm trying to set up the gateway :-)

But what I wonder is how the eth0 and msh0 device on the XO relate, which one 
should be used (for what)?

Because, on the XS the situation is the same/very similar: (eth0 is wired 
lan), eth1 and msh0 is the marvell device.

the marvell device being eth1 or msh0 in this case?

So I can ignore eth1 on the XS?

"At the moment I don't care" about an infrastructure access point ;-)
