Sorry I didn't mentioned it there, but I've assigned one of the address
from the RFC1918 address range in use at my wireless network.

Both rl0 and wlan0 interfaces of my notebook connects to the same
wireless router (802.11 abg + 4 802.3 ports, used in a switch
fashion). And this notebook also has Gentoo GNU/Linux, where wireless
functionality works fine with HAL 0.10.5.6 and madwifi drivers.
