+If you want to provide a bridge between a Wireless Access Point and an Ethernet LAN you need a '''Wireless Bridge''' and not a standard wireless client. Please see our wiki about [wiki:wireless_bridge Wireless Bridging]
+
+If the bridge is not needed, you can configure a Gateworks board as a standard Wireless client like in the following example:
+
+ * Configure the /etc/config/wireless file
+{{{
+root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/config/wireless 
+
+config wifi-device 'radio0'
+        option type 'mac80211'
+        option channel '11'
+        option hwmode '11g'
+        option phy 'phy0'
+        option txpower '27'
+        option country 'US'
+        option disabled '0'
+
+config wifi-iface
+        option network 'wwan'
+        option ssid 'myap'
+        option encryption 'psk2'
+        option device 'radio0'
+        option mode 'sta'
+        option bssid '00:23:69:D2:37:7E'
+        option key 'abc123'
+}}}
+
+ * Configure the /etc/config/network file
+If something is connected to the ethernet port on that board and would like to also connect, you can create a different subnet (192.168.2.x) for the ethernet and let the wireless (192.168.1.x) act like the wan.
