What it does is -- it changes config so the NIC you have is now eth1.
That eth1 does not directly have an IP, but is "bonded" into
'lanbond0' which does.

As Tom mentions, the XS wants to "run" the network, so hook that NIC
to an AP that doesn't do NAT and does not give DHCP leases. Must
behave as a real dumb AP :-) not as a smartypants router+AP.

cheers,
