I also just tried to setup the DWL-900AP+ as a wireless client (basic setup) following 
the d-link tech's instructions.  still no luck, can't ping the gateway (BEFW11S4). 
since I obviously don't undertstand what needs to happen, i'll provide more technical 
details:

AP1, BEFW11S4 Linksys
   Lan IP/MAC: 192.168.1.1/xx-xx-xx-xx-8a-85
   wireless MAC: xx-xx-xx-xx-5c-92
   wan IP/MAC: 66.xx.xx.xx/xx-xx-xx-xx-8a-86
   DHCP serves 192.168.1.100-150
   ssid is 'linksys'
   1 wan 10/100 port
   4 or 5 lan 10/100 ports

AP2, DWL-900AP+
   configured with static lan IP address 192.168.1.130 subnet 255.255.255.0 and 
gateway 192.168.1.1 (also tried without gateway)
   configured wireless client AP mode with remote AP MAC set to xx-xx-xx-xx-8a-85 
(tried all 3 MACS, no luck)
   configured ssid of linksys
   1 10/100 Lan port

wired-pc1 (can't ping gateway 192.168.1.1) 
   configured static address 192.168.1.126 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
   connected to Lan port of AP2 via switch (i know the connection is working because i 
can connect to management console of AP2)
  
AP2 does bridging also but i believe i need bridge mode on the recieving end also.  
But then i think i would lose other functionality since most of these routers only 
operate in one mode.  So ATM i'm thinking that I need to return the DWL-900AP+ for 
another device?

any ideas for what type of hardware i need? or a config i missed?
thanks,
milan
