 Hello, I want somebody to tell me if I can make this configuration work.

I want to "Bridge" the lan in a building, connecting an AP11 to the hub of
this lan. But using the "Client" mode.
The WAP11 should be accesing a BEFW11S4. Is there any chance to make this
work? HUB->WAP11(client mode)->BEFW11S4-HUB
 I've been told that there's no bridge compabtility between this products,
but i'm not trying to use this function.
Will the lan attached to the wap11, "see", the cat5 wire lan attached to the
to the BEFW11S4, and the wireless clients?
Will all be routing to the adsl connection in the BEFW11S4 Wireless 4-Port?
If this connection it's not possible, what are your suggestions?
Is linksys a good brand?, or should I choose other products?
Thanks for your Help!

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.
