   Further to this I right clicked on the network icon on my desktop to    
   select 'edit connections' and got the option to add an interface, and    
   type 'bridge' was one of the options.   
      
   It looks like a Gui interface may allow everything I want.   
      
   I think if I add Ethernet and Wlan interfaces to a bridge device I get    
   most of what I want, but I don't understand which interface gets the one    
   and only IP address.   
   Perhaps it doesn't matter...
