By the way, what is the type of your wifi adapter ? I had a "chat" with somebody of the support site of Linksys. The WRT54GS enables WDS. So we can say this is my problem.

But how will be somebody in subnet A able to reach someone of subnet B? We are gonna have to change the routing tables on the client side too?
