I don't think you need to do anything, for the actual wireless clients 
it services. It's only for admin of the device. It is possible to add an 
IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 range on the device you are going to 
use to admin the wireless device. 

 as root    ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.1 

or better use ip  but I can't remember the invocation.
