Thanks. It means I do not need to configure anything on Eth1 like NAT or masquerading? I found a piece of documentation on the net on this. Can you take a look quickly. They are suggesting that I should I configure the eth1 before the XO can connect to the internet.
Take a look

eth1 gets autoconfigured, and all the internet connection sharing
(technically, NAT and routing) is autoconfigured. Do _not_ try to
configure eth1 or any of the other network devices you'll see.

15 access points - excellent! Well, if their ranges overlap, put them
in different channels.

You don't want 2 access points to be on the same frequency with
overlapping range.

If you connect them all to the same switch, set them all to have the
same ESSID, and then the XOs will automagically connect to the best
signal, and hop to a different AP if the user moves around.

cheers,
