Well not yet. But if its easy. Do I need the bridge setup? I can stick the 
stick into my router since I do not have any other use for it at the 
moment. But then I'd like a WLAN on demand like setup anyway. When I do 
not use it, it should be switched off. Its no top priority but it would be 
nice to see whether it works. Anyway now off watching Star Trek.
