We are planning to use multiple ethernet-connected devices on our robot this year, but since the new Wireless Bridge only includes 2 ports, we purchased an ethernet hub to expand the number of ports we can use.

We are currently using one of the Bridge's ports to connect to the roboRio, and the other to interface with the hub (which we can plug our other devices or tether into).
However, in our current design we want to mount the Bridge in an area that will maximize reception/connection strength, while the roboRio and switch are sitting next to eachother in another area of the robot. Rather than running two ethernet cables from that area to the Bridge, we proposed running the roboRio to the hub, then hub to Bridge with a single cable. That way, the second port on the Switch is very accessible for tethering at competition, and we make the wiring extremely efficient.

However, I noticed the rule:

R58 The Wireless Bridge must be connected to the roboRIO Ethernet port (either directly or via a CAT5
Ethernet pigtail).

Does this exclude our proposed setup? Technically our bridge is still connected to the roboRio, albeit through a hub, via CAT5 ethernet.
