So interestingly, on the main WAP (Router), the arp table shows that all
the devices hooked to the second WAP via the Bridge1, have the Bridge1
MAC address for that ip address, yet, IP traffic works normally.  In a
switched environment, this is what I'd expect.  I wasn't quite expecting
this with a bunch of linksys wrt54GLs and OpenWRT.  So the router lists
bridge1's MAC as the MAC address for every device beyond that bridge.
Bridge1 lists WAP2's MAC address for every device beyond WAP2.  And so
forth.
