Well, I have seen other Linksys networking gear not play nicely too, so it may
just be crappy firmware. I've got a Linksys print server that I cannot use
wireless because it doesn't support WPA/WPA2 correctly. At first I thought it
was a compatibility problem with my Apple Time Capsule, but I tried it with my
older Linksys router (which would lock up on a fairly frequent basis after a
firmware update) and it performed equally bad.

What's it spoofing... multicast?
I don't remember the full damage of what it did, but it would
essentially answer ARPs and such for the connected wired device with ITS
OWN MAC ADDRESS, instead of the devices.
It should be functioning as a layer-2 bridge, not touching packets.
This screws with functions like DHCP.
