The AP is a typical commodity wireless router (netgear MR814) and the
wireless bridge is a linksys WET11. The LTSP server needed one of its
interfaces on the LAN side of the AP so it would see the broadcast
traffic.

I don't currently have this arrangement still in place, but the LTSP
client would get offers from both DHCP servers. It would ignore the
offer from the AP as it would not contain the requisite information
and would accept the offer from the DHCP server running on the LTSP
server iirc.
