Description

We need to check (below) it again

===Sayenko===

I tested whether Linux supports the same IP address on two interfaces and it worked for me! I was able to set the same IP address and netmask for the ethernet to WLAN interface.

Based on that:
  • Can somebody double check whether it is indeed the case?
  • If so, whether it works also for the PPP interface?

If everything is fine, then I think that just by manipulating the routing tables, we can direct the outgoing traffic to a desired interface.
