Bridged mode is probably the answer, short term. This would also work 
with APs that don't support IPv6.

I suspect that it'll still be answering on 192.168.1.1 on the public net 
- otherwise it's hard to get to the box for turning DHCP back on later. 
Shouldn't be a real problem.

Would be nice to have DHCPv6 prefix delegation available, but I suspect 
the box doesn't support that. At least not with the image it came with :-)
