We encountered this problem elsewhere and found out that the latest version of the firmware from Linksys (only works on the WRT54G v8 routers btw; might also work for the WAP54G as well) resolves the WDS problem.

In the firmware version 8.00.5, it specifically mentions: "Resolves issue with using a WAP54G in repeater mode." This looks to be a fairly recent version of the firmware.
