This product exists but I want to do it with my own hardware. I have an NSLU2 that I have connected to a 3G cellular into the USB port, I then want to take the IP address from the resulting PPP and give it to an embedded device so that it has a publicly routable IP address that can be accessed directly. Cradlepoint has such a device, I want to do the exact same thing just with Linux :). The link below explains what I am try to do as well including the product in question. I cant bridge a PPP interface to an Ethernet interface, if I had to do that where would I start to make modifications to the kernel? http://store.drwireless.com/crceippabrad.html Anyone have any Idea how I might do that?
