I have this same configuration working but I don't know about bridging. The
docs say you can bridge b/w two WAP11 devices but from what I have seen,
bridging is NOT possible b/w the WAP11 and the S4.
The way I have it is as follows:
WAP11 -> WEFW11S4
The WAP11 is set to channel 11 and the S4 to channel 6. I have the same
ESSID and WEP encryption for both, DHCP is being assigned to devices
attaching to either AP from the S4. One odd thing though, I noticed that
setting WEP 128 encryption in the WAP11 works as it is supposed to (i.e.
type your passphrase in and the resulting 13 pair key is correct.) When I
set the passphrase on the S4 via the router web page, the key it generates
is NOT correct, So I have to manually enter the 13 pair key to enable WEP
128 on the S4.
