In one embodiment, a system for providing both wireline and wireless
connections to a wireline interface includes a first wireline interface,
a second wireline interface, a wireless interface, and a switch coupled
to the first wireline interface, the second wireline interface, and the
wireless interface. The switch can selectively couple the first wireline
interface to the second wireline interface to allow communication between
the first and second wireline interfaces. The switch can further
selectively couple the first wireline interface to the wireless interface
to allow communication between the first wireline interface and the
wireless interface.
