	You are correct. I was too hasty. Let me also add that since this base 
station model has two ethernet cards you shouldn't have any problem 
using it in this function. Just make sure to have your internet 
connection in the WAN port on the base station, and your hub/switch in 
the LAN port. You have to use the "uplink" port on your hub/switch 
and/or make sure the "uplink" button is pressed. Then you can connect 
your clients to the remaining ports on your switch/hub. Run the AirPort 
Admin Utility and make sure you have the required boxes selected. Easy 
as that.
