Bridging ath0 to eth1
 
How would I go about bridging my wireless connection from ath0 to the rest of the network and the internet while maintaining the firewall protection?

ath0 is the wireless
ppp0 is the PPPoE internet connection
eth1 is the internal network

I'm using IPTABLES on Kernel 2.6.9-5 for the firewall.

Google is your friend

That makes it sound like both ath0 and eth1 will have no IP address which would kill internet access on the rest of the network. If that is the case couldn't I stick an extra NIC so it would go something like...

ath0 -> eth1 -> switch -> eth2 -> Squid/IPTables -> ppp0.

It does?

Optionally you can configure the virtual interface mybridge to take part in your network. It behaves like one interface (like a normal network card). Exactly that way you configure it, replacing the previous command with something like:
# ifconfig mybridge 192.168.100.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Those commands killed all connectivity. I put in ath0 and eth1 but it didn't work so I had to undo all the brctl commands.
