I think you need 2 cards in your router (one as host and one as client to the wireless WAN bridge), unless you use WDS. WDS allows your access points to become repeaters while still functioning as access points, so you can have multiple APs and only one of them needs to be connected to the wired network (as long as each AP is within range of at least one other AP). The cost of WDS this is that your available bandwidth is basically halved (and if you have to support 802.11b, it gets even slower). Depending on your expected usage, that might or might not be a big deal.
