Yes, that's what I've done.

As soon as I can get the Linksys set up, I will.

Correct.

Checking to make sure the wireless router is routing now, but I can ping
from the FreeBSD gateway to the router (as well as hit the web setup
with lynx).

Thanks for the suggestions. Never played with tcpdump before.

I'll move a client from the 'wired' side to the 'wireless' side here
shortly. Thanks for the help.
