Using a linux box as a bridge


I have a linux box that I would like to set up as a bridge to receive wireless signals from a router, and reroute that traffic through a NIC card into another hardwired router. The purpose is to essentially hard wire my many pc's without stretching the cable across the office. Any assistance is appreciated, please email if you need more clarity.

You may also need bridge-utils if not installed.
