I draw pictures when it gets too complex since it's all relative when
devices are daisy chained. When is a WAN interface when views from your
LAN because a LAN interface to the next device in the chain.

That will happen if you configure both interfaces. TCP/IP is smart enough
to know which can see the outside world at a given point in time.

This is unlikely. All you need to to is have a driver loaded that works
with the chipset.

Let TCP/IP sort this out. It was designed for this. You were not.
