[Dnsmasq-discuss] Wireless Configuration

[Randy Yates]

I should also mention that I've been considering upgrading my router to
the OpenWRT software. Is there any advantage to running dnsmasq on the
router itself versus on my wired linux machine? The advantage to running
it on my wired linux box is that I don't have to spend the time
investigating, installing, and configuring OpenWRT on my router, which I
suspect will be a non-trivial task.
