I have a Linux box with two interfaces, eth0 and eth1. eth1 is a wireless interface with connects to a network and receives a DHCP address. eth0 connects to a AP (with a cross over cable) and provides Internet connection to a bunch of clients. The setup looks like this

AP1 <--> eth0      eth1 <---> AP2<---> DHCP server.

Let's redraw this up a little bit.

                  +--------------+
                  |    Bridge    |
("Net 0")   AP0---+ eth0    eth1 +---AP1   ("Net 1")   DHCP server
                  +--------------+

Is a client on "Net 0" suppose to have an IP in the same subnet as clients on "Net 1"? Or is the "Bridge" system going to be routing for all the clients on "Net 0" and hiding them as one IP to "Net 1"?

I ask this because you are starting to sound like the "Bridge" system is suppose to act like a SOHO router like you would use on your DSL / cable modem to connect your home LAN to your internet connection. However your original question implied that you wanted "Net 0" and "Net 1" to be joined together as one big network where everything on both sides could see everything else.

Please clarify the above before going further.
