It's an ASUS WL-330gE.

It has four different modes.  It can serve as a router (plug the
device into the modem, connect computers over wireless), access point
(plug the device into a switch, and it'll act as a 802.11/Ethernet
bridge), network adapter (plug the device into a computer, and it will
attach to an existing network), or repeater (tell it to attach to one
AP and also serve as an AP for the same SSID).

You can also use it as an adapter and share *your* connection over an
access point served up by the same WL-330gE.  Fun little toy...

The paper manual is crap if you only speak English, but the
advanced-mode web configuration interface has good tooltips for almost
every configuration option.

Oh...and source code is available:

So, anyway, yeah, I can serve up two SSIDs, but according to iwlist,
they both have the same address, just differend SSIDs.
