I don't have one of these APs, but it appears that everyone that is 
using them for a bridge has loaded dd-wrt.

If you choose to load dd-wrt on your AP, make sure you check the exact 
version of the AP you are using.  There has been many versions of the 
wrt54g release and they have various amounts of storage in them, and you 
have to load the correct size of image or you could mess up your router.

Check http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices for a list 
of supported routers and which version to load on them.
