ok. I have one wireless network in one part of the house,
and a small wired network in another part.
Aside from running a cable from the wired network to the
wireless router (which is not a realistic option).
How can I inexpensively ($80.00 or less), bridge these
two networks?
I do NOT want to setup a linux box with a WAP and NIC and
bridge them (yes, it probably the easiest, cheapest way,
but it adds one more computer (and fan) to the mix).
Will the Linksys WAP54G do this?
It says it will connect wireless devices to your network, but does
that mean it will connect a wired switch to a wireless router?

It will, when configured in "AP Client mode".

If you hit Linksys's product link on their website, you can download the
manual as a PDF File, rather than only looking over their marketing
material.

I have this exact setup, using a WAP54G and a hub to connect a small
network to another small network connected to a WRT54G.
I have the WAP54G set up in wireless bridge mode, and put in the mac
address of the router. I believe that all you really need is a
wireless bridge (WET54G).

my only issue is that my wrt is not a linksys, so I hope the WAP54g
plays nice with my D-Link wifi router.
the WAP54g already been ebayed, I most likely will get it by the
weekend (so that will be my weekend
project). Debateing if it really really requires a WRT54g, whether I
want to shell out for one.
